Ahmed Musa Vows to Keep His Place in Eagles Team
Super Eagles defender Musa Mohammed says he's not taking his invitation to the senior national team for granted because he knows what is needed from him in order to maintain a place in Gernot Rohr's team.
Eagles' Technical Adviser, Rohr in a recent interview stated that players who do not play regular football in their respective clubs might not be invited for the crunch encounter against Algeria in Uyo echoing Former Shooting Stars attacker Adegoke Adelabu's call that fringe players at their respective teams should be ignored for the mammoth tie considering the high stakes.
Musa, who has found it difficult to break into Istanbul Basaksehir FK's first team since his highly celebrated move last season is of the opinion that he'll continue to work hard in order to remedy the situation which is looking to affect his international career.
"I know what's needed and I'm doing my best in training sessions and when called upon in games but sometimes decisions of this sort are out of the player's hand, the coaches consider a whole lot of other factors to reach a decision," Musa told Daily Trust in a chat.
According to Adelabu, players who see action regularly for their club sides will definitely be fitter and in a better frame of mind competitively compared to bench warmers.
"The most important thing for the match against Algeria is for the coach to invite only players playing regular football in their clubs because these set of players will be already fit for the match and can cope with the rigours of the match," he said.
"There are many players home and abroad who are regulars for their clubs. They should be the players wearing the national colours," the ex 3SC star noted.
