Vindication for Rohr: Nigeria's NPFL players not good enough for Super Eagles - Olatunji-Okuku

The Super Eagles’ loss to El Tri has justified the German tactician’s reluctance to invite local-based professionals for international engagements

Nigeria’s 4-0 defeat to Mexico has justified Gernot Rohr’s assertion that players from the Nigeria Professional Football League are not good enough for the Super Eagles, according to Samuel Olatunji-Okuku.

Fielding largely local-based stars, the West Africans were outclassed by El Tri in Sunday’s international friendly staged in Los Angeles.

While some has praised Rohr’s men for putting up a daring fight against Gerardo Martino’s men, the respected football administrator claims the result has further exposed the deteriorating state of the country’s league.
