Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun has advised the Super Eagles Coach, Austine Eguavoen to stop playing Joe Aribo out of position.
Balogun who was unable to participate in the ongoing competition in Cameroon due to injury stated this in a live video on Instagram on Monday. He added that Aribo is a good player and will help the team better whenever he has opportunity to play as number 10 man for the super eagles of Nigeria at the ongoing 2021 AFCON in Cameroon.
He said, “I have always known he’s a great player, right from the time I started playing with him. He’s in great form this season and he managed to bring that to Nigeria in the last two games.”
“To me, he’s not playing in his best position. If you put him in as a No.10, he will give you more joy because he knows how to take on players, he knows how to delay the play in a way.
“However, I’m happy he’s found a way to bring his form to the national team because I think people have been waiting for long, for him to actually replicate the kind of form he has at club level.
“So, “I’ m actually happy he’s found a way to do it in a different position.”
