The quality ademola brings to the national team is immense. Its honorable that he said the national team made him better. A lot of people are being too patriotic to a corrupt nation and team. Playing regularly for your club brings good things to the team. I mean the national team brings kelechi and co who don’t play regularly to the team and people were complaining. In a quality european club team playing well for your club gets you called up. I don’t know what playing for Nigeria can bring to a european club team. I mean literally whenever a nigerian bound in europe plays in europa league or champions league, people here are always clamoring for them to play for nigeria. Make it make sense.
George llenikhena scored one goal in the champions league and 2 goals total, and people here were begging for him to play for nigeria, like yall always do.
Just stop it. A lot of people here are delusional, weird and spend too much time wasting their daily data minutes to argue. Its obvious people here are fanatics.
Playing against real madrid and bayer leverkusen brings more to the national team than playing against rwanda and benin bringing to european club. Imagine playing on an impoverished pitch brings something to a club lmaooo. What are yall smoking down there?
I remember the imbecile chima commented atalanta players were not giving ademola the ball. I mean they are not passing the ball to the person who scored a hatrick in the europa league final? lmaooo. I remember ademola giving iwobi jist because he didn’t pass him the ball
Ademola stock will keep on rising. Europa league last year, hopefully league title this year.
