Felix Agu Says It Would Be a Dream Come True to Play for Nigeria
Werder Bremen defender, Felix Agu, has expressed his willingness to play for Nigeria at the senior level.
Agu, 25, was born in Germany to Nigerian parents and has already represented Germany at the U-21 level. However, he remains eligible to switch allegiance to Nigeria. The full-back admitted that playing for the Super Eagles would be a dream come true.
“Playing at the national level has always been a dream for me. I’ve already made part of that decision by playing for the German U-21 team,” Agu told Oma Sports.
“I’ve had several conversations with Justin Njimah about playing for Nigeria, and we both agree it would be a dream come true.” Agu has been in solid form for Bremen this season, making 14 league appearances so far.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
