Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has apologized for his
performance against England in a 2018 World Cup friendly match at the
Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
The Turkey-based defensive midfielder was a shadow of himself in the match, which the Eagles lost 2-1.
His performance drew negative criticisms and reactions from fans
on social media, with many calling for his exclusion from the final
23-man squad for the World Cup.
The 25-year-old posted his apology on Instagram on Monday, saying
he would work harder on himself to improve his form before the World
Cup.
“Saturday’s outing was disappointing from me and I know it was
not the best from me due to reasons I could not lay my hands on but it
is a process one has to pass through to get better,” he wrote.
“A lot of criticisms and a lot of blames have followed since
Saturday. I know but such incidences only come once in a while. Critics
can only make me better because I can’t run away from them. I will
learn from the criticisms and get better. Thanks to everyone who came
out to support the Super Eagles on Saturday. Preparations for the World
Cup are still on to get us in shape.”
