UZOHO just visited this site.......

[1naija]

If Uzoho actually visited this site, then he has himself to blame. This site is filled with angry old men, most of whom are failures or semi failures themselves. If the same old men can criticize one of Nigeria's most accomplished player of all times, Joseph Yobo, then Uzoho has no reason to expect less.

Having said that, it is perfectly okay to criticize a player's performance in a game. Is he upset that they criticized his perfromance in the game? I am sure even him can see that he did not perform well.

He’s a professional footballer and he is making mistakes that are obviously upsetting millions of Nigerians so he should expect some backlash,I don’t blame him for being upset but he hasn’t improved so why is he reading comments on social media?
I don’t know what he’s expecting, instead of making himself sad?
How Nigeria can’t find a replacement is beyond me?

OMG how many times do you have to be told it’s a joke?

Read the actual post
And then read the other posts
And laugh at the joke.

Ok it’s a joke but in general criticism whether fair or not is part of the territory of being a professional footballer. Ask the likes of Harry Maguire if he thinks it’s fair what England fans do to him not to talk of other players in other countries. Footballers are a sensitive lot. They love the adoration on social media when they are doing well but complain and cry when it’s the other way when they are playing badly. Is some of the criticism OTT? Maybe. But the bottom line advise for any footballer that is sensitive to criticism is to stay off social media and forums in both good times and bad

Why would very very senior uncle do such. I can see semi very old uncles like Bret Fart or jobless uncles like Kongi do such, but not you...

I take God beg una, This ting na joke ooo! Uzoho no talk to anyone wey I know ooo!! I jus siddon house come dey tink wetin Uzoho dey suffer. I come begin dey tink say make I write dis ting.

Super Eagles’ Francis Uzoho issues public apology after his Snapchat story went viral

Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro will currently be sweating over the decision on who to make his first-choice goalkeeper at AFCON 2024.

Super Eagles goalkeeper, Francis Odinaka Uzoho, has issued a public apology after sending a message to his critics, following an error he committed in Nigeria’s game against Mozambique, Soccernet.ng reports.

The ex-Deportivo de La Coruña goalkeeper lost the trust of Nigerian football fans after a sequence of errors, including one away to Ghana, preventing Nigeria from being in attendance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

During the International break, the 24-year-old committed errors leading to goals in the two games the Super Eagles played, leading to a massive outrage from fans on social media, questioning why his call-up.

Uzoho received support from Coach Peseiro, and teammates like Kelechi Iheanacho, Moses Simon, and even Adeleye Adebayo, but the Omonia S.C. goalkeeper went ahead to post a picture on his Snapchat story in a bid to silence his critics, tagging it “do it if it’s easy.”

He later took to his X(formerly called Twitter) page to apologize for his post, claiming it was an outburst of emotions and frustration.

“It has come to my attention that my recent Snapchat has not been my best behaviour towards you all as my loyal fans. I apologize for this as it was not my intention to conduct myself in such a manner towards the fans who have supported and motivated me throughout my career,” Uzoho posted on X.

The 32-time capped Nigerian mentioned that criticism is part of football, and it is needed for improvement as a professional footballer.

“Accepting criticism is part of my job and one that I often welcome from people who continue to support me. I accept your criticisms with the utmost respect and understanding that you all want me to do better,” He added.

Should Uzoho remain Peseiro’s first-choice goalkeeper, Nigerians will be expecting the goalkeeper to put out a proper apology on the pitch by making fewer mistakes.

AS FOR ME...


...all I want is for the NFF members to be compelled to visit this site. I'll then double or triple my posts. And they will have a single focus.

I am informed by my nephew who knows Francis Uzoho quite well that the latter just visited this site and has visited here a few times previously. To make a long story short.....He is not happy. He believes, and I quote: "I have served and continue to serve this continue as best as I can. Many of these guys,, so called fans, have not lifted a finger in service of Nigeria. Yet, they can hide behind their computers to type rubbish." He has gone on to add: "How many of them can face what I have faced?"

I feel for this lad but the truth be told, it is time to move on but he is truly embittered by it all. He beliefs that many people here are not true fans of the Super Eagles. In fact, he mentioned that some countries previously approached him to change citizenship. Unfortunately, it is too late to do so now given FIFA's rules. He is now tied to Nigeria.

.....But he has not been pilloried as Nigerians pilloried one of our own who was at Orlando Pirates (Daniel Akpeyi) and had represented this country with all he had. Somewhat, we have all been spoiled by a long line of great goalkeepers that have represented this country. In fact, at one time we had three magnificent goalkeepers at the same time.

If I have the opportunity to talk with Mr. Uzoho directly I will simply tell him that the criticism comes with the territory. His service is not in vain but maybe, just maybe, taking a hiatus could help. But I wonder if he will be happy to hear such an advice from me but it may do him some good. That is just my tuppence worth of talk.

His quotes don’t sound anything like a professional footballer. Criticism is part of the territory and much better players have to endure worse.

I’d suggest he see someone (psychologist) for this because it appears his confidence is shot to bits.

i don't think you know much about professional football. You fans imagine that they take it all on the chin. News flash. They don't. They are human beings. It is one of the funny things about people is that we imagine that famous people are aliens.

Professional footballers are just bigpokey with a lot of talent kicking a ball or Robbynice with a lot of hard work saving shots. They are NOT aliens. Anything you can imagine that you wouldn't want to personally here, you could imagine the same for them.

[Tbite]

In key moments, the most mentally strong footballers know how to keep the noise out. BUT even those types are not immune to emotion in general. They just know how to block it out TEMPORARILY. It is generally advised that famous people should avoid social media. People like Kevin Durant don't take that advise...

The best way to navigate being a footballer is really to have tunnel vision. Like Onana claims he has.

He is fortunate. He should check what they've wished on Musa. He should asked what Vancity did to Keshi and Amodu. He wished and prayed for the their death.

Same fans want foreign born players to switch allegiance!

The Keshi hate was vile especially the death wish from the likes of VE, same for Musa but why's it a crime for fans to express their feelings? football as a sport is probably the one thing that UNITES us in this fragile nation...so It's not farfetched for fans of the SE to be emotionally invested in the affairs of the team, especially when certain players who are simply not good enough or past it are always forced on the team. Fans will be fans, happens everywhere in football, some football clubs even have ultras that tend to be very violent and ideological to a level of fanaticism. That's what football does.

It's not a crime to express your feelings. However some fans are DESPICABLE as evident by Vancity Eagle.

Whatever your opinion about a player is:

1) He HONOURED invitation by his country
2) He is making a sacrifice.

If you are not happy with his invitation, blame those inviting him and the coach that is giving him playing time.

Criticize the performance and not destroy the person.

If you are in employment, how will you want feedback to be given to you by clients, colleagues etc even IF it is a negative feedback.

If same players refused to honor national call we complain. If they chose another country, we complain.

Fans need to be HUMANE. Some are a disgrace to humanity.

Well said.

As a general rule, it is best to ignore the hype when you are being praised and ignore the 'unconstructive' criticism when things are not going to well.

Fans are fickle... The Surulere crowd back in the day only give the S/E 15mins to turn on the style before they start cheering the opposition. The dude should just focus and work on his game. He has all the assets to be a world class keeper. Just need to get his head sorted out.

In recent times, only Carl Ikeme has inspired confidence between the sticks...

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about - firstly you don’t know me or whether I work in professional football to make any statement whatsoever about my knowledge.
That aside you post up a video that basically summarised my comment about the criticism of footballers (the mental side) which goes with the territory and a place for a psychologist (if required). Do you think you know what you’re talking about?
In your haste to respond to everything in your long winded way - my advice would be for you to read, understand, breath, reflect and then respond rather than coming across half cut.
