Published: June 09, 2019Super Eagles of Nigeria played host to Zimbabwe at the Stephen Keshi Stadium but things were not as good as predicted by many soccer-loving Nigerians prior to the encounter.
Gernot Rohr's men had a quiet night against The Warriors so much to the displeasure of many Super Eagles supporters who took to Twitter to reveal their thoughts on the game.
Here are some of their reactions below :
Fans Reactions To Chukwueze's Blistering Display
@ColinUdoh: "Very lively from Chukwueze so far, but unable to find a final ball #NGAZIM"
@CalabarPrince: "Samuel Chukwueze is a jewel. So he should rest him to avoid further injuries. He's a sure starter now for #Nigeria in #AFCON2019"
@PoojaMedia: "Chukwueze 's movement on & off the ball is like he was raised in Brazil. Sexy.
@MistaChika: " Samuel chukwueze is on the plane to Egypt. Boy is a baller. #NGAZIM
Fans' Reactions To Mikel Obi's Man-of-the-match Display
@Ephramite_10: "The same Mikel many predicted would not. be part of the team.🙄🙄 The truth is Mikel Obi is Priceless..."
@jide_olafare: "It will go down in history that Mikel Obi is great Nigerian Footballer"
@david_mankind: "We Don't Have Replacement For John Obi Mikel #SimplyTheBest"
@Phatill: "I wince each time Mikel Obi is tackled"
@iamunclerahiiim: "Mikel obi has been able to prove his critics wrong. Man has been able to coordinate the midfield well. You can't buy experience in the market. #nigzim"
Fans' Reactions To The Whole Team
@ColinUdoh: "Samuel Kalu doesn't quite seem to have found his range yet. Still like a boxer trying to guage distance. Onuachu too has not quite been himself. Link up play still good, but final ball a bit dodgy # NGAZIM"
@Toblasky: "omeruo has really improved since the world cup....certainly more agile and
quicker...looked to heavy against Argentina. chukwueze not in the game though...but not clear what role rohr is playing him in..."
@MMbah001: " With what I have seen today even with the poor condition of the pitch in Asaba due to rain. The eagles are good enough to win the afcon. With Captain fantastic Mikel doing a yeoman job and the likes of iwobi Kalu, chukwueze and Colins. I am impressed. This team is good."
@AKINTESEGUN: "My tots on the game Leon Balogun was faultless, very brilliant Mikel is still very much needed in our MF, Kalu was super wasteful and indecisive Rainy pitch didn't help matters Chukwueze treated in the first half but faded off in the second #NIGZIM"
@italoyeeben: "My take on the #NGAZIM friendly. - Mikel - Superb - Chukwueze - excellent - Iwobi - Confused - Balogun - Solid - Onuachu - Not convincing - Awaziem - Good - Musa - Showed some sparks #SoarSuperEagles"
