Super Eagles’ coach – Gernot Rohr has disclosed that he never described Reading FC player Ovie Ejaria as a better player than Queens Park Rangers’ Ebere Eze and so the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) should get him in the team immediately.
According to the German, the statement circulating the media, quoting him is totally false and very disrespectful to both players.
He stressed that he will never compare both players and have not asked the NFF to make any approach for the player in question.
Speaking through the official twitter handle of Super Eagles – @NGSuperEagles, coach Gernot Rohr said;
“My attention has been drawn to some statements online that I have described Reading FC player Ovie Ejaria as a better player than Queens Park Rangers’ Ebere Eze and so the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) should get him in the team immediately. This is totally false and very disrespectful to both players. I never compare players and I have not asked the NFF to make any approach for the player in question.”

He further noted;
“I will never ask the NFF publicly to approach any player for our team. We have our processes and it certainly doesn’t include sharing such information publicly. Furthermore I think there must be restraint in press statements purportedly quoting me and my person in terms of interviews.

Gernot Rohr added;
“I share a very good relationship with the media in Nigeria but this must not be abused to the extent of misquoting me and making wrong claims about my person.”
