BABAYARO SLAMS ROHR, EZENWA FOR THEIR COMMENTS ON MESSI
Read Time:51 Second
Ex-Nigerian international goalkeeper Emmanuel Babayaro has criticised
quotes attributed to the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria,
Gernot Rohr, and goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.
The duo has been quoted saying they are not scared of Argentina’s
Lionel Messi ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Reacting to their statements, Babayaro said the two should at least
show respect to the Barcelona star, rather than play down his
importance ahead of their clash at the World Cup.
“I read the quotes by Rohr and Ezenwa as well and I must say that was
low coming from them,” Babayaro told Owngoalnigeria.com.
“There is a level which a player like Messi is operating from that
requires respect ahead of any potential meeting.
“To see our coach play down his importance to the Argentina course
when both teams clash in Russia can best be described as mind games,
which I don’t expect Ezenwa to get involved in as a player.
“He has to show some respect to Messi.”
