Rohr Slams Eagles Door On Enyeama – I Called Him Over 10 Times And He Never Responded Nor Call Back




Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has given up on trying to convince former goalkepper Vincent Enyeama to come out of retirement and play for Nigeria.

Rohr ruled out any future contact with the Lille man after revealing that the 33 year old appears to have made up his mind to stick to his international retirement.

The Franco German coach said he tried reaching out at Enyeama when they had a goalkepper crisis before the game against Algeria, but Enyeama failed to take his calls and didn’t return them later.

” When we had crisis in our hands after Carl Ikeme’s injury, I called him (Enyeama) over 10 times and he never responded nor called back”, Rohr said to Owngoalnigeria.com.

” I am happy with how Daniel Akpeyi responded to the test when he was called up as emergency cover, but he needs to buckle up because we can’t solely depend on Ikeme”.

Have I ever told you Ighalo was "there'? Go back and read up all my comments about Ighalo.

As for comparison of Iheanacho with other players. I recall u guys said there was no room for comparison that he was on a class of his own. Your expectation on that boy is just too much.

when you are playing against Burney you know a win is there for you. that match was already a win, the thing is that Man city do not lose against minnows, you can slaughter them for losing against top teams but they always dispatch lower teams. you did not even address the question I asked, why didn't he bring in Aguero alone? you said Silva won't die. fine I agree, So why did he bring in the half dead Silva at halftime with Aguero? normally he should have left Silva on the bench until he had no other choice but he brought him in at halftime although he was almost injured, how does that pan out for you?

Mickael2:
They think he us in the same league with Ronaldo and Messi, yeah right

Kog45:
Agreed,let iheanacho continue developing at man city and player like Iwobi continue having a playing time under a coach who is far better than Guardiola when it comes to player development.

This is d mistake Mikel made at chelsea developing under a wrong but world class coach Mourinho,anytime i watched Mikel i always shaking my head why should a talent be wasting like this(Nig vs Spain)but thank God he was still able to achieve but not at his potential coz he found himself at cross road,a DM at chelsea and AM/CM at S/E.

We are going towards that line again regards Iheanaho and i said time w tell may be d guy is developing or not.If not for Mikel talent that keeps him on which i don't think any Nigeria player have for now,w should have forget about him.

BascoVanVeli:
To me Iheanacho has had a good season so far but I know he can do much better. He needs to learn how to show up when the going gets tough. The obvious next step is to start deciding matches for city like he does for the eagles.

joseph1013:
If the treatment of Kelechi at City continues, don't you guys think it will be a straight battle between Victor and Kelechi for the number 9 spot?

Icon4s:
Let Victor Osimhen start playing professional football first before I can say anything.

goldfish80:
It will be a shame if home grown player's development is neglected while we focus solemnly on foreign born/based players.
Our football can't develop that way.
In just 2 weeks, a home based player can turn to a foreign based player and the minute he goes abroad, he is recognised. Such attitude wouldn't help anyone.

I remember Akpala getting a called up by Eguavoen to the Afcon 2006 squad the minute he signed for Standard Liege from Bendel Insurance. Its a shame to be honest.

semid4lyfe:
TheGoodJoe is as slippery as an eel and he can argue debate till thy kingdom come. I probably should ban him to give us some respite

@ Topic
Players improve more with game time than with training. Anyone who follows the game keenly or has played organized football at any level knows this. It baffles me TheGoodJoe will argue otherwise.

NB: I don't do back and forth, I simply express an opinion and move on.

TheGoodJoe:

Did you see Arsenal bid for Iheanacho? Manchester City monitored him since he was thirteen. Long before the U17. Manchester City fought hard for his signature with FC Porto. Manchester City promoted Iheanacho to the senior team. Gave him playing time to notch up stats of top quality talents.

City have tried for the young man. It is ungrateful to run the club down as if Arsene Wenger hunted local Nigerian talents and groom the to top quality players.

On Iheanacho and Guardiola,i always respect your views on them coz u are a great fan and u are ready to defend them to d last point but that w not take d truth out.

Let me point it out,i love and cherish Mikel to a fault try to defend him at any given point but at 2014 W/C i admitted Mikel had a woeful outing and ve cite it here that Iheanacho is going like Mikel.I was telling people then that Mikel was growing coz he was under great Mourinho but Nig vs Spain pointed it out that Mourinho is killing Mikel's potential not developing him.

Iheanacho is a Nigerian and every good Nigerians want d best for him and w are free to express our opinions as u are free to express yours but coming out to nail everybody on Nacho or Guardiola is uncalled-for.

Michael Owen have come out and said w have better Iheanacho under Pellegrin than under Guardiola.Owen just attested to people comments on nairaland regards Nacho developments.

I have said it and still repeat it that time w tell may be Iheanacho is developing under Guardiola or not.I wish him d best just like any other Nigerians coz is valuable to d new emerging Eagles.

Invite them to camp and let them battle. If Rohr believes in Victor Osimhen's talent, then let him have a chance to battle for a place in the starting line-up. If he does well, it can boost his chance to break into the first team of Wolfsburg.

tbaba1234:
Give Osimhen time to get some football under his belt first. No doubt, he has potential but he is not the heir of anything yet.. He has to first establish himself.

Icon4s:
I just tire.

They think senior team football is like U17.

Osimhen that could not even cope with the U23 demands.

tbaba1234:
He did well with the under 23. I thought, he was more dangerous than Awoniyi and Ajayi when he played. He was only left out of the Olympics because he was needed in the under 20 team that failed to qualify.

Icon4s:
I guess Rohr would need to invite over a hundred players to camp for us to select our starting 11.

The best way to call up players for national duty is still club performance. Let us see him play at Wolfsburg first!

Osimhen has not played professional club football and you say Rohr should call him to camp to battle for what?

Because Rohr said he like him?

Its like you still dnt know Rohr well. Musa Mohammed's case should give u am insight.

Rohr - I'm Helping Musa Mohammed Look for a Club

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-164.jpg

Turkish based Super Eagles defender Musa Muhammed would have to switch teams this January if he wants to keep his spot in the team.

Coach of the Nigeria senior team Gernot Rohr revealed that he is unhappy with Musa’s lack of playing time at high flying Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir , where he has only made three appearances. All in cup games.

Particularly on the look out for teams for the former captain of the Nigeria U-20 to help him gain enough playing time ahead of the resumption of the World Cup 2018 qualifiers.

In each national team you have players who can have problems in their clubs. I knew of this situation already in other countries, in Gabon, Niger and Burkina Faso. For example Alain Traorekina Faso. For example Alain Traore for Burkina Faso who didn’t play”, Rohr said will speaking on the inactivity of John Obi Mikel, Odion Ighalo and Ahmed Musa for their respective English teams.

“So this situation is not new for me. Now the January transfer window is open which means these players can change clubs. I had contact on Tuesday morining with one of our players in Turkey. So what we want to do now is help him find a club. Of course our job is also to help players to play or change clubs, to give good information to managers in order to make things work.

“We had problems with the right-back position and the player who is expected to play there, Musa Muhammed, has to change clubs too. When I don’t have players playing, I try to find those who are playing. Players are everywhere even those with double nationality.

TheGoodJoe:

Mention one person who thinks that. Or, you are being sarcastic.

TheGoodJoe:

After Fernandinho's dismissal, winning was no more an easy task. Before the dismissal, we were running Burnley down. So, Guardiola could not leave Silva on the bench but make sure he gets a win with his top available forwards.

Mickael2:
theSuperNerd definetly thinks so, by the way where is he?

Mickael2:
exactly! So why didn't he sub in Silva alone?

TheGoodJoe:

Indirectly, Rohr is saying he knows Musa Mohammed is a good option but he would prefer a weaker option because he has playing time.

This is something that has mystified me my whole life watching football. Far back as 1998, Glenn Hoddle who is a genius opted to leave an inform Michael Owen on the bench and chose experience players. They performed poorly and it took a protest by English fans to sway Hoddle to play Owen and Owen was brilliant.

Pellegrini dug his faith in Bony despite Iheanacho showing better form in training, coming from reports from City fans.

With time, when things got so bad, Pellegrini changed his decision and stuck with Iheanacho. Today, someone can say confidence.

Just play the better player after close study. Leave all these playing time talk. If they do well for the team, clubs will come for them.

zicky:
Indirectly Rohr is saying you have to prove yourself in your club before I consider you. Playing Ndidi instead of Musa was not due to experience but fear of musa being match rusty, they was no info in camp that told us Musa performed better than Ndidi in training
