Super Eagles coach, Genort Rohr has stated that the
team is yet to have a first-choice goalkeeper.
Rohr, in a chat with brila.net, stated
that the National team is yet to have a substantive first-choice
goalkeeper despite the recent form of Sparta Rotterdam goalie,
Maduka Okoye. Rohr said the arrival of Lugano’s Sebastián Osigwe,
Daniel Akpeyi will give more competition to the position and the
best hand at the time will be in goal. “We have followed the career
of Osigwe right from his days in the U20 where he played for the
Austria national youth team before moving to Switzerland, he’s been
given the chance based on his good performances. “Right now is the
time for him to show us in training what he can offer then we will
see if the opportunity will be given to him based on his
performances”. “We have no number one goalkeeper from the few last
matches we have played, we have the return of Daniel Akpeyi and
unfortunately Ezenwa is not playing in the league right now, we
can’t pretend when things are not right and then, we will see the
guys that will have quality times with the team will have the call
up back to the national team,” he said.
