Eguavoen Blasts 1 Super Eagles Player for not Playing to Instruction After 2 Games at AFCON

• Austin Eguavoen has explained that Umar Sadiq has not been playing to instruction so far at the ongoing AFCON
• The Nigerian striker came on as a substitution against Egypt and Sudan, but failed to impress in these two games
• Super Eagles have qualified for the knockout stage even though they have one more game to play in their group

Umar Sadiq who plays for Spanish side Almeria has been figured out by the Super Eagles coach Austin Eguavoen as the player who is not playing to instruction at the ongoing AFCON.

Super Eagles of Nigeria have started their campaign on brighter note at the ongoing African Cup of Nations in Cameroon winning their first two games against Egypt and Sudan.

In the first game at the AFCON, Kelechi Iheanacho scored the only goal that condemned Egypt to a 1-0 defeat before Chukwueze, Awoniyi and Moses Simon netted against Sudan.

In the first game against Egypt, the former youth international came on in the second half as replacement for Taiwo Awoniyi, but he failed to impress.

Against Sudan, Umar Sadiq was also introduced with minutes to end the game, but the striker failed to find his rhythm for the Super Eagles.

According to the report on Owngoalnigeria, Austin Eguavoen stated clearly that Umar Sadiq found things difficult because he did not play to instruction.

Austin Eguavoen's reaction

''Substitution yes has been spot on and you can see Awoniyi the lone striker and Kelechi Iheanacho behind him who was tired.

''It was necessary for us to bring in fresh legs, but the instruction given to the player (Sadiq) who comes in is a little bit different from what he goes in there and does which makes it difficult.''
