How Finidi George attacked Osimhe

According to SaharaReporters, Finidi George claimed he was not receiving adequate support from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). He added that some players are connected with big men in the governing council and are difficult to sanction.

Finidi George had lost his first two matches as the Super Eagles coach, attributing the failure to a lack of commitment from the players.

The medium stated that the former national team coach had used Osimhem as a case study, saying that many of the Super Eagles players are not committed to national assignments.

Why Osimhen did not play for Super Eagles

Recall that Osimhen was unavailable for the two World Cup qualifying matches, explaining his injury and that he had been sidelined for four weeks.

But the former Super Eagles coach said the Napoli striker could have managed to play for the team.

The paper reported:

“The coach went on to say that it appears that Osimhen chooses the games he plays for Nigeria, and he (Finidi) cannot beg him to play for his country.”

However, in a trending video of the Nigerian forward, he denied lying about his fitness and that he would not allow anyone to tarnish his image.
