Victor Osimhen might not get to pair with Taiwo Awoniyi in the attack of the senior national team of Nigeria despite the duo finding the back of the net as the two front strikers in the 6-0 win over Sao Tome and Principe, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
While Osimhen helped himself to a hattrick, Awoniyi scored the third goal for Nigeria as they round up their AFCON qualifiers campaign in style at the nest of champions in Uyo.
Their combination in attack wasn’t fluid and according to the coach of the team Jose Peseiro, they might not get to play as a pair in attack because they both have the same likeness for playing as lone forwards.
“It’s not easy to create combinations. Even if the players play alone in the team, Taiwo plays alone, Osimhen and Boniface also. You want to play with two strikers but it’s not easy that coordination with them. You need time, training. I told you yesterday that I need to call the best players every time to build the team”, he said at the post match conference after yesterday’s game.
