OMERUO: Nigeria would not have lost with me.....
Eagles won’t have lost to South Africa if I played – Omeruo

Kenneth Omeruo – Super Eagles defender
Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo has said he would have made the difference for Nigeria not to lose to South Africa had he played in the recent AFCON 2019 qualifier in Uyo.
FC Porto II youngster Chidozie Awaziem was preferred to the more experienced Omeruo as South Africa raced to a 2-0 away win, their first-ever official victory over Nigeria.
The surprise decision to leave out Omeruo has now been widely questioned.
Omeruo was an unused substitute in the game, but he has now said he could have prevented the loss had he been involved as coach Gernot Rohr lined up a youthful team on the day.
“I would have made the difference if I had played (the game),” he said in a radio interview monitored by SCORENigeria
“But I also remember I was also a young boy when I was given my chance in the team.
“I also know that if we had won the game 4-0, we won’t be discussing this.”

Hindsight is a beautiful thing...
But make Omeruo go siddon...he was bullied by Rantie for the 2nd goal in the 2-2 home draw against SAfrica...
He fumbled again to gift Zambia a consolation goal in Lusaka in the WCQ...

We should also not forget facts. Keshi shouldn't have played Omeruo in that game as he was reportedly down with malaria (or some illness). You'll get bullied by Rantie too if you have malaria (remember that weak-#$% malaria feeling?). Also, agreed, he messed up for the goal against Zambia away, but he's entitled to make mistakes too provided he stays solid overall.FATHER TIKO wrote:Hindsight is a beautiful thing...

But he has not been faultless since his impeccable showing at the 2013 AFCON triumph...
That's why it is not cool for him to fault the defeat on him not starting the game...

I hope Omeruo sees and responds to this. A task is always easy when assigned to, or is being done by another person. But did the young man really said those things attributed to him?FATHER TIKO wrote:Hindsight is a beautiful thing...

Re: OMERUO: Nigeria would not have lost with me.....
When I read articles like this, am reminded of the moments leading to the WC94, when I started reading supposed interviews granted by me where I claimed to be better than Keshi. Heck the reporter even wrote glowing tributes extolling why I must be called to camp osiso siso. To say I felt embdassed by what I was reading was putting it mildlly, b t more worrying is not knowing who was behind the articles. It turned out the reporter was a guy we went to unilorin together and would play cooties together on the campus. He later told me it was his own personal campaign to see m in the tam heading for the world cup. You need someone to blow your trumpet bro he told me....
What I am trying to say is simple, some over zealous reporter is trying to do Omeruo favors.

Re: OMERUO: Nigeria would not have lost with me.....
I have to agree with Oloye. Omeruo had given an interview after the match saying that his absence was not the cause of the SE loss to SA. He said the team wins together and loses together.
I am happy

But you were better than Keshi in 1994 now.

The decline in Keshi between 1992 and 1993 was just azing. By 1994, he was just making the team because he was a legend and captain and had to officially taste a World Cup. He became our first non-playing captain, a role to be 1naija's Oga reincarnated almost 2 decades later.

Watch the video. Press releases exaggerate things
Re: OMERUO: Nigeria would not have lost with me.....
Personally, I doubt that Omeruo would make such a claim in a radio interview. If he says something like this, it probably would occur in a private conversation which he never thought will be published. However, it is now unto him to deny this publicly. If he doesn't then people will have to believe the piece.oloye wrote:When I read articles like this, am reminded of the moments leading to the WC94, when I started reading supposed interviews granted by me where I claimed to be better than Keshi.

I doubt that such selling receives Omeruo's approval because it is dangerous for him considering that it claims quotes from Omeruo and it can piss off the Manager.
