The newly appointed scout of the Super Eagles has told fans of the team not to be surprised if the duo of Obafemi Martins and Joel Obi are called up by coach Gernot Rohr for their games next year.
Martins ended the season in spectacular form for Chinese Cup winners Shanghai Shenhua, with the 33 year old scoring a stunning goal in the final match against Shanghai SIPG last weekend.
Obi as first reported by Owngoalnigeria.com has already won over Rohr with his impressive displays for Torino in the midfield, where he he has also scored two goals despite operating as a deep laying play maker.
Their form has caught the attention of Rohr, and according to Agali. The duo are set for a recall to the team next year, but added that they have to keep working hard.
“All players who are currently performing to expectation in their respective club sides have equal chance. The coach {Rohr] is a disciplinarian who welcomes players based on merit.
“Don’t be surprised to see the likes of in-form Obafemi Martins, Joel Obi and others returning to the team, and I myself won’t hesitate to scout for more legs that will help maintain the good form.” Agali was quoted as saying by Sportsvillagesquare.
