Nigerians react after Eguavoen congratulates Dessers, others on European progression

The Super Eagles missed on the World Cup to Ghana and fans of the national team are still unhappy over the disappointment

Former Super Eagles coach, Austin Eguavoen congratulated Nigerian players in various grades of European football for making it to the semifinals.

Samuel Chukwueze, Calvin Bassey, Leon Balogun, Joe Aribo, Cyriel Dessers, Ademola Lookman, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi all have their clubs playing in a European semifinal this season.

Chukwueze scored Villarreal’s suckerpunch against Bayern Munich to help the Yellow Submarine qualify for the Champions League semifinal for the first time since 2006.

Aribo and Bassey were in sizzling form as Rangers overturned defeat to Braga to defeat the Portuguese team at Ibrox on Thursday in the Europa League. Leicester’s Iheanacho and Lookman played a role in the Foxes’ first European semifinal ever as they defeated PSV to qualify for the semis of the Europa Conference League.

Dessers also scored twice for Feyenoord to help the Dutch side qualify for the semifinal of the ECL at the expense of Slavia Prague.

Eguavoen, thrilled by these developments used his official Twitter handle to congratulate his players but the responses and comments he got showed Nigerians have hardly forgotten the World Cup debacle.

Hmmm….the same players that lacked character and courage, in your own words.

And they all not gonna be playing in world cup. No thanks to your tactics. 9 strikers, 4 midfielders and no single creative midfielder. Weldone sir and thank you

I love you dear @coacheguavoen. You really did your best. All these people hurling abuses are just spectators. They are not on the field of play to understand what it feels when the team you led miss the world cup on away rule. I must thank you so much coach.

On whose permission are you congratulating them?

— IYAMABILITY (@Pepperrested) April 14, 2022

Oh the @CyrielDessers you dropped for Onazi and Ighalo or another one? Tag him with your full chest na!

— Kola Olugboye (@kolaolugboye) April 14, 2022

    Eguaveon is a failure in life. After failing like a fool, instead of apologising and being remorseful for gambling with our WC chance, he has been so loud ever since then, granting interviews and making so much noise on twitter as though nothing happened. To make matter worse, he has even sponsored some clowns on social media to come online and tell us he is the best coach Nigeria can get at the moment; that he should be allowed him to continue as SE coach. To me, that’s the height of silliness, foolishness and insensitivity. Allow him to continue for what? To bring more failures to my fatherland?
    I’m still very angry. Even though it is already three weeks after Ghana dealt with him, if I see him now, I will beat him up. Aswear!!
