The first choice goalkeeper of the senior national team of Nigeria Francis Uzoho has fired a shot at critics of his recent performance for the team following his high profile errors in the friendly games against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique respectively, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Uzoho in an attempt to tip a harmless free kick over the ball diverted it into his own net in the 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia. Yesterday he misjudged a cross making it easy for Mozambique to score the team rallied back to win 3-2.
As expected his performances attracted criticism back home especially as he appears to be the weak link ahead of the start of the world cup qualifiers and also the Africa Cup of Nations, where they are aiming to go all the way to lifting the trophy.
In what is his sly dig at his critics, Uzoho used pidgin english in saying those thinking it is easy should do it and get signed by a team based in Europe. He used the word “Oyibo” which clearly hands superiority to the whites when it comes to making judgements.
“If e easy, go do am Make oyibo man sign you!”, The under fire Omonia Nicosia second choice goalkeeper posted on social media platform Snapchat.
