by Kingseyi Thu May 17, 2018 1:54 pmFormer Super Eagles striker and coach, Samson Siasia said
he is shocked by coach Gernot Rohr’s decision to snub Efe
Ambrose and Junior Ajayi for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Siasia also lamented the exclusion of goalkeeper Austin Ejide
from the 30-man provisional list for the Russia 2018 World
Cup as well.
“I think Efe’s experience and form for his Scottish side
Hibernian is good enough to get him into the list, and he
would be of immense help to the Super Eagles defence at the
World Cup while Junior Ajayi would have added fire power to
the Eagles attack, and should have been given the chance to
prove himself,” Siasia said.
“All the same, the coach knows what he is doing and has
picked his team, we just have to support him for Nigeria to
do well in Russia.
“We cannot win the World Cup but if we emerge from the
group stage, our team can spring some surprises.”
