The heavily criticised first choice goalkeeper of the senior national team of Nigeria Francis Uzoho is bracing up for the battle to retain his number one spot ahead of the start of the Africa Cup of Nations next year.
Uzoho has been under-fire from the media and fans of the national team for his poor performances in recent games, which has seen him make high profile errors that have cost the team goals in recent games.
His erratic form made head coach Jose Peseiro to approach Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who he sees as an option to the Omonia Nicosia shot stopper with the Africa Cup of Nations around the corner.
However Uzoho isn’t willing to let go of his number one spot without a fight and over the weekend in his first start for Omonia Nicosia in the league, he was voted the man of the match in their 2-0 win over Nea Salami.
He made four big saves in the game and after the game he was surrounded by his teammates who were full of praises for the way he kept them in the game with saves after saves.
