Emeghara Called Up By Switzerland by henry101(m): 5:31am On May 28, 2011 |
Nigerian-born Innocent Emeghara is one of three new players called up by Swiss coach Ottmar Hitzfeld for next month's Euro qualifier against England. Emeghara, 22, was listed along with fellow forward Admir Mehmedi, 20, and 19-year old midfielder Granit Xhaka. The invitation comes as the perfect birthday present for the striker, arriving as it did on the day he turns 22. Hitzfeld expects the striker's speed to be crucial against England. "Emeghara's speed us impressive, and that may be important against England." Even if he fails to tack up any minutes against England in London, it will be a terrific rise for the youngster, who was a reserve at FC Zurich barely two years ago. A move to FC Winterthur boosted his career, as he hit 17 goals for the lower division side, prompting a move to Grasshoppers. The young forward gained Swiss citizenship last September, and has represented his new country 3 times at Under-21 level, scoring four goals. http://www.kickoff.com/news/22026/innocent-emeghara-called-up-by-switzerland.php |

I actually liked how he chose to play for Switzerland. Not everybody would be lucky to play for Nigeria. Fact, Ifeanyi Emeghara and Innocent Emeghara. Distant relatives? |
