forgiveness: We are talking about foreign born players not players based abroad... Brazil, Argentina, USA,etc have quality football infrastructure to develop their players...they don't need another country to do it for them like in the case of Nigeria.. Our football infrastructure is a mess ! From the grassroot to the professional level... |

Rohr: We cannot adapt our game to suit Onuachu aclsports.com Oct 8, 2020 3:06 PM Rohr: We cannot adapt our game to suit Onuachu Former Midtjylland striker, Onuachu started for the Super Eagles in their opening Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) game against Burundi in June 2019 but has only played a combined 23 minutes for the team ever since. He was initially left out of the squad for this double-header friendlies but was recalled following the unavailability of top marksman Victor Osimhen. Rohr spoke further on what Onuachu must do to remain with the team. “We play on the ground, we don’t want to play all the time in the air, but our wingers can give good crosses and he can be interesting with his headers and also with his shooting. “For the moment, I think he is the striker that can help us to replace Osimhen and also Cyriel Dessers. Perhaps we will see in the last moment, which one will start,” summed Rohr. Rohr’s men will face African champions Algeria on Friday, at the Worthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, starting from 8:30pm local time (7:30pm in Nigeria). They will also face another North African side Tunisia in Austria next Tuesday. |

Kog45: I know, and I'm not insinuating that Ebuehi can play for England PRESENTLY,I was actually talking in response to andrew calling him a Twente player,a player of his quality should be playing for clubs like Ajax and the likes, but injury just slowed his career. Well as they say, destiny can only be delayed but can never be denied,lai lai,I see Ebuehi in a big club in three years time. |

elyte89:He is not far from the truth. Forget sentiment,i have watched TAA many times, he is good no doubt but the team structure is what cover for his weaknesses. His defensive ability is not that good. But will Ebuehi match up to him? I have not watch enough of Tyronne to conclude. |

Coach Gernot Rohr has said he will pick the country’s best players no matter where they were born after critics slammed him for a preference for players born overseas. German coach Rohr has been in charge of three-time African champions Nigeria for the past four years during which time he has capped a growing list of players, who were born abroad. Such players include Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo, Semi Ajayi of West Bromwich Albion, who were born in England; Tyronne Ebuehi of FC Twente, who was born in Holland, and Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, who was born in Germany. Nigeria face Algeria and Tunisia in friendly matches tonight and next week Tuesday with Rohr again set to cap Kevin Akpoguma, who was born in Germany and has represented his adopted country at various age-group levels, as well as Cyriel Dessers, who has opted to play for the Super Eagles even though he was born in Belgium. Maduka Okoye, born in Germany, saves in Eagles training Rohr, who qualified Nigeria to the 2018 World Cup in Russia and has been rewarded with a new contract till June 2022, has maintained the quality of the player and not whether he was born in Nigeria or overseas will remain the first consideration in his team selection. “We don’t take into account where a player was born before he is invited. We only look at the quality of the player,” maintained the coach. “It doesn’t matter where they were born, it only matters how well they can play. “I don’t know the player who is born in Europe and who is born in Nigeria. “All the players are proud to be with the team. These players say I want to play for my fatherland.” Rohr further gave the example of Hoffenheim defender Kevin Akpoguma, who is set to make his Nigeria debut against Algeria Friday night after he was cleared by FIFA to change international allegiance this week. Akpoguma captained Germany to eliminate Nigeria at the 2015 U20 FIFA World Cup in New Zealand, but he has since opted to play for the west Africans after Rohr scouted him for the past two years. “Akpoguma was born close to Mannheim in Germany, his father is from Benin City,” Rohr said. “He said he will be proud to play for Nigeria, but he has already played for Germany. “He told me it will be wonderful if Nigeria played against Germany at the World Cup. “He is 100% Nigerian, but his heart is also a little bit where he was born. “You cannot say that because he was born abroad that he is not a Nigerian. “What is important is that these players want to play for us.” 2 Likes 1 Share |

Samueltemi337: At least Awaziem should be a player that is guaranteed to come off the bench during Porto matches even if he can't tie down a starting shirt,that how we know a player that will become a starter once the player that keeps him on the bench moves to a bigger team, Zaidu did it even with World class Alex Tellex at the club. Awaziem is a below average player |

forgiveness: It seems like you don't understand me.. Players based in Europe aren't the same with those born in Europe.. Osimhen, Iheanacho, Chukwueze are based in Europe but they are a product of our football system... Ekong,Aribo, Aina,etc were born abroad,are based abroad and are a product of a foreign football system.. Of course ,there's nothing wrong in having foreign born players in our national team as long as they have the quality to improve the team.. but if it gets to a stage where our national team is overfilled with foreign born players because the home grown players aren't good enough, then it would be had for us... We need to put more effort into developing our sports sector.. Lots of talents are wasting away here.. 2 Likes |

forgiveness: Oga, this is a different case. 95% of the French national team players are groomed in France. We should also groom players in Nigeria. Football development is what we are talking about. I don't have any problems with foreign groom players, but we should also groom players locally for foreign export and for the national team. |
