SC Heerenveen Dazzler Patiently Waiting To Hear From Rohr On Super Eagles Invitation
Published: December 11, 2019SC Heerenveen winger Chidera Ejike is patiently waiting to hear from manager Gernot Rohr regarding a call-up to the Super Eagles.
The former Valerenga Fotball star is Heerenveen's second top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie this season with 6 goals in 15 matches and continues to earn rave reviews for his dribbling skills.
He is battling the likes of Samuel Chukwueze, Ahmed Musa, Samuel Kalu, Moses Simon, Alex Iwobi, Emmanuel Dennis and Henry Onyekuru for a roster spot.
''The thing is all these players you mentioned are good players and talents and I feel everybody has his style of play,'' Ejike said.
''Your style is always going to speak for you and I believe the coach knows best when I get the call-up.''
''Your style is always going to speak for you and I believe the coach knows best when I get the call-up.''
Ejike is a right-footed player capable of playing on both flanks as well as being deployed as an attacking midfielder.
He added : ''The coach knows where he is going to fit me in. At the moment it is not something I am rushing for, I'm going to be patient and wait for my time but I know if I'm given the chance by God's grace, I'm going to take the chance, I'm just looking forward to that time and waiting until it comes.''
Ejike was invited to Nigeria's U23 squad before the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt but was not released to the Nigeria Football Federation by SC Heerenveen because the tournament was outside the FIFA window for national team activities.
