Russia vs Nigeria: ‘Very bad’ – Naumov knocks NFF over absence of Osimhen, Lookman, others.
Nikolai Naumov, a former Lokomotiv Moscow president, has knocked the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, over the absence of some key players from the Super Eagles squad list to tackle Russia in an international friendly on Friday.
Naumov explained that it’s very bad from the part of the NFF not to ensured that the key Super Eagles players take part in the friendly against Russia.
Russia will welcome Nigeria at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Friday evening.
But key Super Eagles players like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Wilfried Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Kelechi Iheanacho, Samuel Chukwueze, Ola Aina and among others will not partake in the encounter for various reasons.
Speaking ahead of the encounter, Naumov expressed his displeasure with those managing Nigerian football as he described the Super Eagles players that will face Russia as “beach footballers.”
“The non-arrival of key [Super Eagles] players for the friendly match against Russia is very bad,” Naumov was quoted by Championat as saying.
“When we [Russia] agree [to play a friendly match] with any national team, we incur significant expenses for flights and accommodation.
“[As a result of ] such expenses, we [Russia] must clearly indicate what line-up the opponent should’ve.
“Only the strongest players [from the opponent] are needed, except for injuries or other emergencies.
“When the Nigerian national team agrees to such a match, the management [NFF] must discuss this issue with their players in advance and now they are bringing beach footballers.”
