Bosso Surprised At Rabiu’s Exclusion Lagerback’s 44-Man List

Former Under-20 coach Ladan Bosso says he is surprised that midfielder Rabiu Ibrahim and two other players from the Flying Eagles team that he coached were not included in Lars Lagerback’s list of 44.

Ibrahim has become one of the most alked about players in Nigeria, and former coach Shuaibu Amodu was heavily pilloried for not calling up the youngster to his squad.

“There are three players whose names I expected to be included on the Largerback’s list of 44 and they are Rabiu Ibrahim, Obiora Nwankwo and Edet Ibok.

“Rabiu is a genius that if encouraged can go on to make name for himself like Jay-Jay Okocha because of his abundant football talent. Also since the exit of Sunday Oliseh in the Super Eagles fold, the only player that could be compare to him skills wise is Obiora Nwankwo of Inter Milan.

“Edet Ibok who excelled in the last Under-20 World Cup in Egypt should have been called up to try out for the central defense role in the team.
