FC Cincinnati manager Patrick Noonan has praised the performance of Super Eagles defender Chidozie Awaziem against Querétaro in the League Cup.
Awaziem, who recently joined the team from Boavista, played all 90 minutes in that encounter.
Singing his praises, Noonan stated on the club’s official website that the Nigerian international controlled the tempo with the ball at all times.

“The plan was not for him to go 90,” Noonan told the Cincinnati official website.
“(We were going to) see where we’re at at halftime and I thought because of the way the first 45 was played, that he could carry on.
“He was going to be honest with us about how he was feeling as the second half progressed.
“And I thought that the way he controlled his running, the way we were able to control the tempo with the ball at times, didn’t consistently put our back line in spots where they had to defend the space, he managed it for himself in the game in a good way.”
