Swiss-Nigerian Goalkeeper Osigwe Eyes Super Eagles Spot Following Positive Talks With Rohr



Swiss born Nigerian shot stopper Sebastian
Osigwe is well in line to challenge the duo of Carl
Ikeme and Daniel Akpeyi for the Super Eagles
number one spot.


The 22 year old shot stopper has been contacted by coach Gernot Rohr who has been monitoring the progress of the 22 year old shot stopper who plays for third division side SC Kriens.

A mini goalkeeper crisis that made late call up
Daniel Akpeyi to man the post for Nigeria against Algeria, has made Rohr intensify his search for credible options to forestall a repeat.

Osigwe is first choice at promotion chasing Kriens, and despite representing Switzerland at different age levels, he is keen on playing for Nigeria at senior level, and trained with the U-20s of Nigeria in 2013 during preparations for the World Youth Championship.

Already he has been pencilled down to make his debut for the team in one of the three friendly games lined up for the Super Eagles next year by the Nigeria Football Federation.

Allow the coach work. Do not compare Iheanacho with Messi. Iheanacho is far from that. Before Guardiola, Messi was I think the third best player in the world. That was after going through injuries that season.

Iheanacho is not yet close to that. As long as Iheanacho keeps working hard with Guardiola, he will improve rapidly. Give the young lad time to grow.

TheGoodJoe:
“My advice is keep going, keep fighting, sooner or later everything is coming back, and of course he’s going to have his minutes,” he said.

Guardiola already stated that Iheanacho will have his minutes. Our concern should not be Iheanacho is not playing or Iheanacho should join a club for playing time.

Our concern should rest on Nacho putting up blistering performances when his minutes come.

”We already have assurances from three England youth international over committing their future to the Super Eagles, am sorry I can’t give out their names” Vice President of the NFF Seyi Akinwunmi told Owngoalnigeria.com.

TheSuperNerd:
But Iheanacho has already done the bolded when minutes came and will do much more when he gets more minutes. Nacho is not on the bench for lack of form or poor performances. Pep himself confessed that.

It's obvious pep just preferred others.

I have a right to be worried here coz Iheanacho is not bench quality. He's not! Not even 5mins in the last 5games for Nacho. Mehn! I have a right to be very concerned.

BascoVanVeli:


You should be happy, is it not ur plan for him to train with the best?

If Iheanacho goes to Barcelona, do you think he will start ahead of Neymar, Messi and Suarez? Iheanacho is a growing player. Let him keep learning. His chances will come.

TheSuperNerd:
Ohhhh.... Those chances better come.... Coz 5 games with no single minute for Europe's most clinical finsher is no longer funny....

Guardiola knows Iheanacho can finish. But, he wants more from the lad. Messi and Neymar, at 19 could tear down loads of players with blistering pace and mind blowing skillful touches.

If Nacho is to reach the levels of these geniuses, then he has a lot of work on the training field.

Maybe another coach will feel satisfied with just finishing and intense work rate, Guardiola is not. He believes Iheanacho can do more. Let us give him time.

zicky:
Since its all about training with the best and not getting match time, I rather Iheanacho train with the likes of Messi, Neymar and Suarez which I think are the best in attack instead of Aguero

Pep wants time?... Fine! We are already counting down and Gabriel Jesus' arrival looms large over the etihad.

Pep already said Nacho is working his socks off super intensely in training. I trust what Pep can do with Nacho but I am not too sure of his willingness to give him enough playing time to execute most of what he's learnt (and is still learning) on the training ground under the "eagle-eyed" Pep coaching crew...

But enough said...... Time will tell. Iheanacho himself wants to be the best in the world. It's in him and I know he's dedicated to training and is a beast on that man city training ground. I just hope Gabriel Jesus' arrival won't take Pep's attention from the fact that Iheanacho still exists coz in Nacho lies an allround attacking monster. If he were brazillian, Approx. One million pounds won't be coughed up for him after the U-17s..... It will possibly reach 5-7million.... It's okay... Time will tell.

If based on his growth, I believe he will gain more working with the likes of Barcelona. But, he will not get the playing time people crave. That is the point.

This is the time for education. People who want Nacho to leave City want playing time. Some suggested Bournemouth. That is where I have a problem.

There is big difference in working hard in training and doing well. There still comes a stage of excelling in most drills. Even some of the best do not attain that level. So, Iheanacho might impress Pep with his dedication and hard work. His improvements can also impress the coach. However, that does not mean he is performing at the level the coach wants.

Iheanacho should welcome the competition from Gabriel, Sane and whoever comes in. Rumors have it a big star might come in at the end of the season. A mega deal.

Whoever it is, Nacho needs to stick to the drills because, that is what will make him improve.

Nacho is a big City project.

safarigirl:

Just in case that big name is Messi, then, it would make sense for Barca to search for a replacement

In which case, Kelechi can join Suarez and Neymar and form SIN

One thing that Nacho needs is speed - if he can clock 11.50 over 100 m than his progress will be blistering. However my feeling of the back of his 2 year extension is that Pep does not want him at Man City. A two year contract for a lad who is yet 20 and scores almost 1 a game is not economically sound. The issue is that Pep tends to have problems with Black players. Remember Eto - Pep got rid of him. I really do think Pep does not like Black players. He got rid of Yaya too when at Barca and has only brought him back after big spat because his desperate.

Well some said Man City was going to be tough. My expectation is that Nacho is going to have to do what Nigerian players are not doing and that is become truly world class. Meaning hes got to boss it for Man City and Nigeria.

If we are still relying on the likes of ideye or even players that have long said they will not play for Nigeria then we have major problems up front. Better to look for fresher faces and players who are playing well. We need forwards who are playing exceptionally well with there clubs who "lead" the front line as opposed to just turning up.
