Chinedu Obasi has been dropped from the squad of German side Hoffenheim for showing up late for training.

The Nigeria striker was axed along with his Brazilian team-mate Firmino for the same offence.

The Bundesliga club's general manager Ernst Tanner said the two are "employees who are not badly paid but come late to work."

Firmino scored in the 1-1 home draw against Freiburg on Saturday.

Neither is expected to play in Friday's game against Bayer Leverkusen.

Tanner says he and coach Holger Stanislawski agreed on suspending the two because they are repeat offenders.





and we wonder why our football is dead
unserious players,corrupt officials incompetent coaches and yet we expect miracles and not to forget our  extremely corrupt press who seem to have a vendetta against some players and favor some other players
complete sports i am talking to you

Make him come home join enyimba, make your country proud and forget oyibo people

Hmmmm na wire !!

This isaa wake up call

Does he work part-time in a bar? Why would he come late to training repeatedly?

He was busy with the babes! Never put Obo ahead of kudi.

maybe he is a bouncer, he had to be also bounced from his club, he should know that dt rubbish mentality of *african time* does not apply there, punctuality is the soul of a business.!

Discipline in action

Dropped like a wide puz zy.

This is the bane of our football. Mourinho axed Mikel at Chelsea at a point for the same offence until the guy had to beg.

Why would anyone being paid such a high salary be reporting late to work, for any reason?

Don't mind them. He probably must have bumped into one Igbo chic the previous night.

Dropped(dismissed) or suspended. . . which one is it?

See yall soon.

Good for him

Chinedu, what is your legacy? It doesn't matter if you score in every match. Reporting late for training is disrespectful. No be bribery/ padi padi matter. . .

This was the same guy who was benched for turning up late for a meal. The Bundesliga is saturated with superb players and certainly don't need riff-raffs like Chinedu. He thinks he's in the Eagle's camp where indiscipline is a way of life. Well, he can come back home and play for Enyimba United where he would be hailed as a local champion!

invite naijas for part at 11pm, den go show up 2 am.

Naija time

that sh1t is imbued in almost every nigerian's blood for some reason.

But when Siasia tried implementing discipline in the super eagles, you were all making noise.

Now you guys know what Siasia was dealing with - and you guys jumped down his throat and said he was being power hungry. 

What good club will hire his services - unless an Arsene Wenger type gives him a chance like he did Van Persie this guy might well be another forgotten Nigerian player.

He has loads of ability but no vision for his future in the game like alot of Nigerian players - just happy to eat money.  Shame!

serves him right

Lol

Hmm. Tanner and coach Holger I hereby warn you. Don't play with Naija boys. We will scatter your team and get you sacked. Period.

he has no passion for the game. still enjoying the money. too big and too busy with teengs

Fowl when dey sleep for rope in naija will do same abroad.

There has to be some discipline i just hope he has learnt his lesson
