The lion was on full display today. Two nice assists. A constant threat in the attacking third.
He plays more advanced for his club and plays more defensive for the Super Eagles. Thats why we dont see so much creativity from him in the national team. He is a very good and versatile player. We need players like him in our team. Well done and keep it up.
Mr.Rohr should start playing Aribo in the attacking midfield of the super eagles, He is too much in that position
