New Benfica right-back Tyronne Ebuehi is reportedly unhappy with Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr for restriction to one match in the 2018 World Cup in Russia despite his form, a source has told our correspondent.

Ebuehi, who has a Nigerian father and a Dutch mother, pledged his international future to Nigeria in 2017 after rejecting Rohr’s invite to play in the Super Eagles’ World Cup qualifier against Algeria in Uyo on December 11, 2016.


The 22-year-old Dutch-born, who is capable of playing at left-back or right-back, was a constant threat down the right channel as he burst into the final third when he came in for Brian Idowu in the 2-0 defeat of Iceland at Volgograd Arena on June 22.

Many Nigerian fans were left fuming after Rohr ended the team’s 2-1 defeat by two-time world champions Argentina at the Saint Petersburg Stadium on Tuesday – to tumble out of the tournament – with Ebuehi idling away on the reserve bench.

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi ran Saint Petersburg-born left-back Idowu ragged – and eventually scored a splendid goal through the Amkar Perm star’s position after taking down a cracking pass from the deep by Ever Banega before beating Nigeria goalkeeper Francis Uzoho from a tight angle to open the scoring for Argentina.

But the 64-year-old German coach defended his decision, insisting Idowu deserved to end the encounter.

“Idowu was very solid in the team. He’s much better defensively and did very well against Messi. He has experience and can play on both sides of the flanks,” the former Bordeaux defence ace told reporters,

“Ebuehi is a fantastic player offensively. He played well against Iceland but he is still very young and still learning. He will definitely improve defensively and become a very important player for the team in the future.”

Our correspondent learnt Ebuehi allegedly boiled with anger as the Eagles, who were in pole position to go through, continued to make mistakes trying to defend deep and then hit the desperate Argies on the counterattack, instead of taking the game to them.

Ebuehi, who joined Portuguese giants Benfica from Dutch club ADO Den Haag in May, was visibly angry as he stormed out of the dressing room into the Mixed Zone where he snubbed the journalists who requested interviews with him after the match.


Sources also claimed that some of the players were not happy with Rohr’s instructions to launch attacks when the match was tied at 1-1 in the dying minutes, which was enough for them to go through as they were tired.

La Albiceleste manager Jorge Sampaoli seized initiative by replacing veteran holding midfielder Enzo Perez with in-demand Boca Junior forward Cristian Pavon in the 62nd minute, and throwing out sloppy PSG winger Angle Di Maria for rugged Independiente midfielder Maximiliano Meza in the 73rd minute before sending on Sergio Aguero for Nicolas Tagliafico in the 81st minute as they probed for the winner to save his team from an embarrassing exit from Russia.

Rohr seems to have suffered stage fright which make him unable to make good decisions during the tournament.

The boys tried their best considering the quality and experience they faced in Argentina...

But 5mins to end the match and your team is under immense pressure while you have two substitutions left

Why not use it to kill the match..

Why would an inform Tyrone be benched for an idowu who can't cross the center circle
The goalie is not experienced at all
Thr attackers were woeful

the coach is too stubborn and it's not good for the team and for our football

Vex and die..

I have nothing else to say

Ok

No need of wailing again, Nigeria is already out, nothing will reverse the match again and make them win.

No need crying over spilled milk.

a lazy man will use hunger as excuse for his failure.
lazy players will use, we are not happy with the coach that's why we fail

Of everybody is happy with u, then you're a walking mumu

so they are unhappy because we don't av hypertension again abi,

abeg make epl start jare

Yes like I said the coach is clueless and not worthy of being our coach,you field players due to their big names and not how inform they were currently.

This ebuehi guy was just too good to be benched, because in modern football your wing must be attack minded to assist the forward players.

Oga calm down.
World cup don pass.

Nawa ohhh y nah

He just doesn't know the players well enough

Ebuehi is not as good as Idowu defensively,so good call by the Coach

I understand ebuehi grievance and I rate him highly but the formation we played robbed him from featuring in the games.

Keep your head up.

The head is already off

.

The coach was right with his decisions. We were a bit unlucky.

if you know what Is good for you right now, stop reminding me of that match or I'll send thunder! so you want some peoples HBP to awaking?

Y’all should be happy Onazi didn’t play at all.

I've been telling people something. We Nigerians overrated our team. Their was no way we would have been able to come out of a group that comprised Croatia and Argentina; two of the best footballing nations in the world with Iceland, a team that held Argentina to a draw and beat England . The boys tried

Next time we must pray for a better grouping

Pls NFF let Roar or Raw be sack simple as that. This Ebuei came for Iceland match in a matter of a minute the whole game changed but this old lazy coach sat this boy on bench all through and other few players and Argentina ran wild to pushed us out.

Pls Roar must go Nigerians are tired of lazy coach that has no sense of the game of soccer.

We have loads of good players now but lazy dull coach. Before we use to have active coach but lazy players. Or did Roar or whatever got bribed

No they didn't try their best. Nigerians always settling for less, that's why you guys hail governors who build one flyover or one bus garage.
