German Nigerian defender Kevin Akpoguma won’t be at his best unless the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr plays him in his favorite position.
The Hoffenheim defender made his international bow for Nigeria during the last international break playing in both games against Algeria and Tunisia respectively.
In both games he was played at right back and according to Mark Rowland, the 25 year old won’t show his true worth unless he is played in a position where he will make use of his strengths.
“ He looked lost as a right back. Not anywhere close to his level. Akpoguma has excelled for Hoffenheim this season in a back five as part of the three central defenders”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.
“ That’s his strength and he has played in almost every game for Hoffenheim in that position this season. He is a massive player but he will remain average for Nigeria unless the coach plays him in his position in central defence”.
