John Ogu: Nigeria midfielder 'working hard' to secure regular place By Oluwashina Okeleji Football Writer, Barcelona 8 minutes ago ![]() Nigeria midfielder John Ogu has won 20 international caps Nigeria international John Ogu admits he must be "patient" and wait for his chance with the Super Eagles after struggling to secure a regular place in the starting line-up. The 30-year-old came on as a late substitute in the 3-2 away win against Libya this month, but failed to make an appearance at the World Cup in Russia. The Israel-based midfielder believes the situation is not ideal but sympathises with manager Gernot Rohr and insists he still feels wanted by the German. The country and team comes before an individual so I will keep working hard to get my chance "I know it's frustrating because I want to play, but I also understand the coach has a job to do," Ogu told BBC Sport. "We have a great squad, as a footballer I always want to fight for my country on the pitch all the time. "But the country and team comes before an individual so I will keep working hard to get my chance," Ogu said. His 20 caps in five years is a disappointing run for the player at international level after winning the Israeli League titles in the past three seasons. Being overlooked has often led to local fans and media questioning the coach's decision, but the Hapoel Beer Sheva player insists he must bide his time. "I appreciate the support but I am a realist, there is a lot of competition and some players don't get the chance to play," he added. "I missed out on the 2014 World Cup; I was picked but didn't play in Russia, this is life. "I am very happy to be a national team player and I must be patient." Ogu who has previously played in Slovenia, Spain and Portugal has scored twice for his country. —BBC |

Nigeria: Owolabi Faults Rohr Over 'Vote of No Confidence' On NPFL Players By Samuel Ifetoye Nigeria's former International, Felix Owolabi, has expressed dismay over the comment credited to Coach Gernot Rohr, that he did not see any player at the Aiteo Cup final good enough for the national team. Rohr was at the Aiteo Cup final once known as the Challenge Cup, where Rangers of Enugu defeated Kano Pillars on penalties to lift the coveted trophy they last won 36 years ago. Rohr was reported (not The Guardian) to have said he couldn't find a player good enough to fight for shirt with the ones he assembled regularly for national engagements. Speaking with The Guardian yesterday, Owolabi, who was part of the 1980 Green Eagles winning squad said he would laid the blame of Rohr statement on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), whom he queried never spelt out the details of his job. According to Owolabi, part of the duties of a national team coach should have included discovering potential talents for the future growth of the nation's football rather than relying wholly on already baked players from abroad. "I still insist that the future of a country's football lies in the local league. By this, I will say that our administrators have failed us by not letting coaches handling our national teams know, understand and also realise that developing our local league through the invitation of players plying their trade in the local league is paramount to the development of our football. "It is not enough for a coach to attend a game venue and conclude that he cannot find players in the league, who can replace the ones he current invites to the Super Eagles. And if that is his conclusion, I do not think he has any reason to remain as the coach of the Eagles." "It will be unkind of a coach to say that he was not interested in the boys playing in the local league because they are not good enough. It means they have failed in duties. Part of the problems was declaring Lobi Stars of Makurdi as winner of the NPFL with some matches left because you do not have a specified calendar year," he said. The former IICC Shooting Stars of Ibadan, however, said that the lack of proper planning by NFF officials was the basis of the country depending solely on foreign-based players. "A complete dependence on players abroad is simply because we do not have a programme, no structure. I believe a good coach will always indentify potentials in the NPFL. Many times you see England's coach, Gareth Southgate going to Premier League venues, Emirates Cup and the FA Cup to have a first hand of players by himself. —Guardian |

Why do we get sentimental when it comes to home based players? The fact is that the best players move abroad. Many of those still in the league have been unsuccessful in foreign trials. The league quality as it stands now is not good enough for the national team. Let the players go abroad and prove their quality in better leagues. The best ones will shine when the standard is raised. Others will fade away. 3 Likes 1 Share |
