Troost-Ekong blasts Sunday Oliseh after Super Eagles qualify for 2018 World Cup


Super Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong, is happy that he has proved former Nigeria head coach, Sunday Oliseh, wrong.

Troost-Ekong has become a mainstay in the Eagles team under Gernot Rohr, after he was sidelined by Oliseh for “being too soft”.


The Bursaspor player made only two appearances for the national team, against Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo, under Oliseh.

In an exclusive interview with ACL Sports, Troost-Ekong said: “I wanted to play for Nigeria and as soon as Stephen Keshi called me in 2015 and asked if I was interested, yeah, it was a dream come true to play for Nigeria against Chad that time.

“The Olympics was like a restart for my international career. I was part of the Super Eagles until Sunday Oliseh took me out because he said Oyibo boys are too soft.

“I hope he (Oliseh) is watching his TV now and see us going to the World Cup.” No ill feelings with him, I saw him at the Olympics last year and we spoke briefly, though he didn’t believe in me then, but I think Nigerians can see now what I can do.”

Nigeria have kept seven clean sheets in 15 matches Troost-Ekong featured for the national team.

Oyibo boys are still soft though but they have more "sense" than their black counterparts.

Sunday Oliseh should go and sit down. He's probably our worst coach ever. You don't become a coach by speaking big grammar on supersports.

One day, the loneliness of a 70-year-old widow made her put an ad in the local newspaper that she wanted to marry again. It read: “Husband wanted! Must be in my age group, must not beat me, must not run around on me and must still be good in bed. All applicants please apply in person.” The next day, the doorbell rang, and when she opened the door, she saw a gray-haired gentleman in a wheelchair, with no legs or arms. She said: “You’re not really asking me to consider you, are you? Just look at you-you have no legs!” The old man smiled gently, and replied: “Therefore, I cannot run around on you!” The old lady, still objecting, said: “You don’t have any arms either!” This made the old man smile again: “Therefore, I can never beat you!” Before the next question, the old lady raised her eyebrow and asked: “Are you still good in bed?” The old man leaned back, and with a grin on his face, said: “I rang the doorbell, didn’t I?

It is a simple case of a rejected stone becoming a keystone now....

Oliseh was wrong on Ekong. Such is life.

It is always up to us to prove them (the doubters) wrong or right... #finito



Mr Bean's look on Oliseh's words (Oyibos are too soft for the Super Eagles and African Football) to Ekong says it all....

Sharap.
Oliseh is currently the coach of Dutch second division side Fortuna Sittard. They are second on the log and doing very well. There is a good chance that he'll be coaching in the Eredivisie next season.
Troost wasn't good enough. Why will you blame a coach if he has better options?

If na play stop am o. Cos I'm sure as you don send three kisses, you'd want at least 10 rounds of action, 3 times a day. Please don't confine our Leon Balogun to a wheelchair before 2018 world cup. Thank You.

Sunday Oliseh remains a bright and very intelligent coach tactically... his only problems with the Super Eagles were bad Man management (a key skill in coaching), bringing in "his boys" like Paul Onobi and Sylvester Igboun who are bloody average players and then his really Overbloated Ego.


But despite his flaws, he remains one of Africa's fast rising tactical minds in the beautiful game today. Under Oliseh, we saw massive improvements in one particular area of the Super Eagles that has been lacking for years during the mid 2000s era and early 2010s era...

That area was "setpieces".... wink Nigeria became very dangerous from set pieces such as cornerkicks, freekicks (direct or indirect)... under him, Simon brought his A-game to direct freekicks and scored a beauty. Also we made use of our aerial prowess in Efe Ambrose back then in 2015 under Oliseh...

Truth is he added a dimension to our game which made us more dangerous to play against and Somehow, Rohr is putting that piece together again and I hope he builds on that fervently because if we must hurt teams we must be able to do so in many different ways... relying on just Wing plays and individual brilliance such as Mikel's creativity and Iwobi's fluidity or Nacho's clinicality or Victor Moses' one man army "tear them apart" style won't be enough....

Finals and tight games are also won by set pieces... one corner and a header and it is over... case study is Euro 2004 final... and also Nigeria 2009 U-17 WC final.


So Oliseh gave Nigeria that extra edge in making us wickedly clinical and deadly from set pieces... let Rohr build on that in addition to all the great work he is doing already and we will have a Super Juggernaut of a team.

But on Ekong... telling him, Oyibos are too soft for the African game...Hahahahaha... Oliseh was bloody wrong and we have the Oyibo wall to prove it... lol


The Oyibo Wall.... grin
