A rare goal from Dessers. Kolawole is in the form of his life at the moment.
This is beyond sweet talk, kę. A striker like Dessers is not that easy to find these days.
A very passionate, dedicated and goal machine like Dessers is a blessing to Nigeria.
You are making me proud already Cyriel Kolawole Dessers. I am proud of you as well. Please keep the goal coming. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
WE ALREADY KNOW THAT WHAT EYIBO CALL WHITE IS WHAT WE CALL BLACK IN NIGERIA.
WE ARE IN COUNTRY WHERE INCOMPETENCE IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR COMPETENCE. IF NOT WHAT STOP NIGERIA COACHES TO GIVE DESSERS MORE CHANCES TO PROVE HIMSELF.
** IWOBI WAS POOR IN BOTH AFCON(in ivory coast) & AFCON QUALIFIERS, AND HE WAS STILL RELEVANT IN SUPER EAGLE.
** BONIFACE WAS NEITHER SHOWING GOOD QUALITIES NOR SCORING GOALS ON THE FIELD OF PLAY FOR MORE THAN TEN-MATCH CHANCES HE PLAYED. AND COACH EQUAVOEN STILL KEEP INVITING HIM. WHAT A USELESS COACH.
SOMETIMES IF PLAYER (most especially striker) DOESN’T SCORE GOALS, AT LEAST HE SHOULD TRY TO IMPRESS WITH GOOD QUALITY ON THE FIELD OF PLAY.
AMOKACHI, UTAKA, OSAZE, VICTOR-MOSES, OSIMHEN DOESN’T SCORE GOALS ALL THE TIME, BUT THEY ALWAYS IMPRESS ON THE FIELD OF PLAY.
*** BUT LET FORGET GOAL, IN TERMS OF POTENTIAL & QUALITY, CYRIEL DESSERS IS FAR FAR BETTER THAN PAUL ONUACHU IHEANACHO SADIQ UMAR, AWONIYI, BONIFACE
