Ex – Football Star Faults Eguavoen’s 32-Man Eagles List

An Ex-Football Star in Rivers State, Christian Isaac has given a thumb-down on Coach Austine Eguavoen provisional 32-man Eagles Squad invited in readiness for the two legged World Cup play-offs against Black Stars of Ghana without non-inclusion of home based players in the list.
Reacting further while speaking with our reporter at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium Omagwa recently, Isaac wondered the rationale Eguavoen used in his invitation of players ahead of the World Cup play offs against Ghana.
“Honestly, I’m yet to be convinced that there is no good home based player that could fit into the main stream of Eagles team, having seen some exceptional good ones both in Rivers United, Rangers, Enyimba, Plateau United among others who have been scoring goals week in week out in the NPFL games.
“In fact, I will suggest that Coach Austine Eguavoen as a matter of fact, should be asked to revisit his 32-man roaster for Eagles with a view to incorporating one or two home – based players into the team.
“After all, how then can we develop our local league when all attention and invitation of players for the National team are being focused only on foreign based players,” he queried angrily.
Asked on the chances of Eagles team against Black Stars of Ghana, who are already talking tough to stop Nigeria Super Eagles from securing the sole ticket of qualifying, the soft spoken Isaac described the threat of the Ghanaians as one of those boastings often seen among football fans.
