Top Belgium journalist Mark Stephen says the decision of coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr in picking Cyriel Dessers ahead of Paul Onuachu is shocking.
Speaking to Owngoalnigeria.com on the Super Eagles list he said both players who are at same club are different in their style of play but presently Onuachu is ahead of Dessers at Genk.
“ I think it has to do with what both players did last season and not this season so far. Dessers was on fire at Heracles in the Dutch League but at Genk it’s Onuachu that is the main man”, he said.
“ Onuachu has scored four goals in five games including three in his last two games. Dessers hasn’t been all that prolific since his move with just two goals from the spots since his move. He has even lost his spot in the starting lineup.
“ Maybe it’s a case of settling down but if football is a game of current form then Onuachu should have made the list ahead of Dessers. It’s the national team anyway and call ups most times can be funny”.
