Why Super Eagles New Star Shehu Abdullahi Has To Be On The Plane To Russia
Published: October 18, 2017
Shehu Abdullahi is a proven winner and a man renowned for his professionalism, but the critics continue to doubt his game.
The Cyprus based utility player is the type that may not impress people because he's not Victor Moses or John Obi Mikel or another player but when he plays, he's never a 6 [out of 10]. He's always between a 7 and 9.
Yet despite the criticisms the player continues to prove his importance within the Super Eagles and has to be on the plane to Russia.
It is his commitment and tireless work in defense that effectively allows for his team mates to push forward and progress, safe in the knowledge that he will provide security.
His defensive brilliance in the match against Zambia garnered praise and the man of the match.
He proved vital in slowing down the opponent's fast attacking game, winning possession and distributing accurate passes.
More than his disciplined approach to the game and his 'never say die' attitude adopted from his years with Kano Pillars, Shehu offers something his teammates cannot.
He is a player many can identify with, a human amongst the heroes.
Shehu may not be a wanted man but he is certainly a needed player.
