Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says Bordeaux new sensation Josh Maja has always been a part of his plan even though he hasn’t made the squad of the team since the 2-2 draw against Ukraine in October.
Maja fired a hattrick for Bordeaux to help them to a 6-0 win over Nimes and Rohr who watched the forward in the game says he is now getting regular games which will no doubt help his cause to win a spot in the Super Eagles.
” Maja I said the last time need to get more games at Bordeaux. He is a young player who moved to a team in a different country and needed time and game to adjust. Now we all can see his quality and that is good for his career and also the Super Eagles”, Rohr said.
The coach further said he is not closing the door on new players making his team for the international round of games in March but they have to be better than the players in the team at the moment.
” No one is denying any player the chance to play for his country but the player has to be better than what we have and also be able to give us something different. Nigeria have lot of players abroad and that’s the situation a coach likes even the ones at home playing in the NPFL will get their chance if they do well”.
