Siasia criticizes Super Eagles’ squad list

Former Nigeria striker Samson Siasia has criticized the Super Eagles’ 25-man roster list for the 2022 World Cup playoffs against Ghana this month.

Interim coach Austine Eguavoen announced the names of those invited to the two-leg games last week and put seven more on standby.

Akinkunmi Amoo, Ademola Lookman, and long-term injury absentee Oghenekaro Etebo were all called up for the first time.

Ogenyi Onazi, who hasn’t played for Nigeria in nearly two years, has been placed on the standby list.

“You need to play characters who realize who they are. When you bring in new players, it makes it harder for them to understand themselves and play the partner you want to play.

“For me, it’s not the right decision to bring new players, you are better off with the ones you know already that have been playing together and understand themselves because you have three days to practice before you go to Ghana. So, for me, this is not the right list,” Siasia said.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
