What I Like In Uzoho Been A Goalkeeper - Gernot Rohr
The coach of the senior national
team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has pointed out the qualities he likes in
goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho who made his debut for Nigeria against
Argentina on Tuesday.
Nigeria won the game 4-2 with
Uzoho keeping a clean sheet in the game after replacing Daniel Akpeyi who
conceded both goals after the half time break.
The Deportivo La Coruna
goalkeeper who has just two La-Liga games to his name will however be given
more games with the senior national team of Nigeria, as he has clearly
impressed with the coach of the team.
“He has a big personality and
that is very important for the defenders. When you play with a keeper like
Uzoho it is easy for the players around him.
He is young and commands his area
well and it is very good to have a keeper like that.” the coach told a source
close to the team.
” He also uses the ball very
well, all his deliveries from the back against Argentina went to one of our
players. He is good at it with both feet. Something some outfield players can’t
boast of, he is a modern day goalkeeper but he still has some works to do”,
Rohr concluded.
