Arsenal Young Star Iwobi Proving To Be The Difference For Nigeria

Arsenal young star Alex Iwobi is once again proving to be the difference for Nigeria when it counts.

Allnigeriasoccer.com reflects on his mastery of the magic

Iwobi is like an erotic dream…when he plays, you just want it to go on for a little longer, you don’t want it to stop.

With the Super Eagles needing inspiration in their recent game against Zambia, it was Iwobi's arrival on to the pitch that changed the face of the game.

Simplifying matters, the attacking midfielder restored the fluidity of his side's play, connected with the key players and injected much-needed pace into the match whilst still affording himself time to pause, think and deliver the perfect ball for his teammates to score.

Singlehandedly guiding Super Eagles to a 1-0 win courtesy of his solitary effort, it was another example of why Iwobi has somewhat become a problem solver for the national team.

Lacking in depth and a vertical edge, opponents have now begun to find ways to halt the horizontal Super Eagles attack that takes one too many touches and appears either too slow or narrow going forward.

With those superhuman skills, one has to wonder whether Alex Iwobi is in fact real or simply an illusion.
