The Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Bitrus Bewarang, has urged Nigerians to stop clamouring for home-based players, saying that the country’s best players are playing abroad.
He however implored football pundits to be patient with Super Eagles Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr, in the area of inviting players into the national team.
Bewarang also said Nigerians must understand that the coach is trying to get a very strong national team in place ahead of qualifiers for the 2019 Africa cup of nations finals in Cameroon and the 2018 world cup finals in Russia.
“Those clamouring for more home based players in the national team must understand that our best legs are based overseas and not home. The quality of home based Players in the 1980s and the 1990s are different from the quality of players we have now,” he said.
The former Plateau United General Manager is absolutely confident that Rohr will take Nigerian football to the promised land.
