The Super Eagles of Nigeria will later today take on Ukraine in an international friendly game, Owngoalnigeria.com takes a look at how the new players have performed in the two training session the team had ahead of today’s game.
Newly invited goalkeeper Maduka Okoye showed he has what it takes to be a good goalkeeper in the future and it’s looking like he will play some part in today’s game.
Josh Maja of Bordeaux impressed with his pace and ability to finish wisely during the drills with strikers. His link up play is also a lot better than most forward in the team and he has struck a very good understanding with Paul Onuachu. Still not sure of getting game time today.
Club Brugge Dennis Bonaventure was the closest to Samuel Chukwueze and Samuel Kalu in terms of dribbles completed in training. However he was guilty of not releasing the ball early and also his final balls were hit and miss during the session. A very lively player though.
However the best of them all was Rangers of Scotland midfielder Joe Aribo, he was a beast in duel and also very commanding in possession. Used his body to good effect with his abilities to use both legs correctly also giving him an edge. Sure to start today’s game.
