One of the players who will be hoping to catch the attention of the new coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Nathan Tella did his case a whole lot of good with a screamer for Bayer Leverkusen in a 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Tella who has just one senior cap for the senior national team of Nigeria hasn’t been involved with ten team for almost a year, no thanks to his lack of game time with the German champions. Something that has changed the past few months.
With the appointment of Chelle, the 25 year old will be hoping for another chance with the team when the world cup qualifiers resumes in March. He did his chances a whole lot of good against Dortmund.
He repaid the faith of coach Xavi Alonso who handed him a start with a stunning goal less than two minutes into the game against Dortmund, it was his first goal in the league this season in what was his fifth start in the 11 games he has played this season.
His opener powered the team to a 3-2 win and also lifted them to second spot, just a point behind league leaders Bayern Munich although they have played a game more.
