Former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has made a notable assessment, rating Stanley Nwabali above Francis Uzoho in goalkeeping prowess, as reported by Abujacityjournal.com/livenews/.
Despite not participating in the qualifiers, Chippa United goalkeeper Nwabali has emerged as the preferred choice for the Super Eagles, a position he has earned according to Rohr’s evaluation.
Nwabali, however, remains humble about his role, emphasizing that Uzoho is still Nigeria’s primary goalkeeper, and he considers himself privileged to be in goal.
Rohr, in expressing his viewpoint, highlighted Nwabali’s exceptional calmness and superior control of his area as distinguishing factors. He stated, “I have to say that Nwabali Bobo is better than Francis Uzoho. He is calm and has very good control of his area.”
This declaration by the former coach has sparked discussions among football enthusiasts, as the dynamics of the Super Eagles’ goalkeeping hierarchy continue to evolve.
