Idowu slams Super Eagles defence for Messi and Rojo’s goals
Super Eagles left wing-back Brian Idowu aimed a thinly-veiled dig at
Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo in the wake of the national team’s
elimination from the 2018 World Cup after losing 2-1 to Argentina.
Idowu’s comments suggest that he has inferred that the Barcelona
superstar took advantage of poor marking by Omeruo, who was deployed
as a left-sided central defender, before scoring a stunning goal in
the 14th minute to give the South Americans the lead.
”The first goal – just a little bit of space one time we didn’t get
the man (Omeruo,ed) on him at the right time at the right spot, he
just opened up, got through, got the ball – finished it,” Idowu was
quoted as saying by Goal.com.
”A world-class finisher, that’s why he’s the best player in the world.
Reacting to the second goal conceded by the Super Eagles, Idowu said :
”But then still there was no doubt in my mind and when Mercado got
the ball and crossed, I was in shock because I saw that Rojo scored
and how the hell did he get there?
”That’s football for you, I think the fans got emotional and enjoyed
the emotion of this game. It was a thriller to the end and for the
football fans out there, I think they have enjoyed it.”
Argentina will now face 1998 champions France in the last sixteen of
the World Cup.
