The training of the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of their friendly clash against Zimbabwe saw some players coming to the fore with strong individual performance while some struggle to make any appreciable impact.
Captain of the team John Obi Mikel stood out during the training session with his range of passes drawing applause from the fans at the stadium in Asaba where they are training.
Mikel impressed with his passes from range and also behind the defence from a deep lying midfield role. Oghenekaro Etebo also showed his strength in duels and abilities to pick a pass even when he’s under pressure.
Kelechi Iheanacho has been very deadly in front of goal but he truly looks like a player who’s short of confidence as he sometimes goes missing before popping up to score. His misses have also out number the goals he has converted since the start of training.
Same can’t be same about Samuel Kalu who have been a nightmare to defenders he is up against just like his former Gent teammate Moses Simon despite playing as a left full back in yesterday’s session.
Simon is only behind Samuel Chukwueze in terms of successfull dribbles but he is top in terms of assists and successful crosses while Chukwueze has showed his eyes for goals with two goals in his last three sessions with the Super Eagles.
