Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says he has always have a thing for Dele Alampasu who has been handed a recall to the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of their upcoming engagements.
The Ventspils goalkeeper was among the players called up for the game against Tunisia and Côte d’Ivoire on the 9th and 13th of October respectively in Austria. Two friendly games meant to prepare the team for their competitive games in November.
Alampasu was first called up to the team in 2016 but since then a poor time at club level which include a year without a club has kept him out of the team. His return to football with Ventspils has earned him a recall.
Speaking on his invitation, Rohr said he has always have a soft spot for the shot stopper and he is happy that he is now back to getting games hence back in the team.
“ He isn’t entirely new to us because he has worked with us before but due to club issues he lost his spot. In Latvia and not doing badly and because of that he is back with us. I have always admire him and it’s his chance to impress again”.
