Former Super Eagles midfielder, Emeka Ezeugo, has said that Kelechi Iheanacho missed his opportunity to impress at Manchester City during Sergio Aguero’s absence.
Iheanacho was called upon by manager Pep Guardiola, with Aguero absent due to injury and suspension. The forward’s future is now up in the air, with the January arrival of Gabriel Jesus.
“Iheanacho in my estimation did not do well for his club in the year under review. I do not know why Nigerians cannot see that. The boy had the greatest opportunity ever when Aguero’s almost four months injury sidelined him, but he never took it,” Ezeugo said.
“Iheanacho started a lot of games and he underperformed in my assessment. If he had done well, the moment Aguero came back, he should have been the one partnering him. He would not have dropped to the bench again.”
Ezeugo said Iheanacho needs to be told the truth, if he must fulfill his potential.
“At times I wonder why people watch soccer with emotion. If we were to help the young man improve on his game, we have to tell him the truth. We must remove emotion completely… our people are not getting it that the guy is not doing well.
“Frankly speaking, nobody is giving Iheanacho the right advice. If he was doing well, he should be Aguero’s partner by now. Goal scoring is an act, if you are not well schooled in it, you will not understand it that. Somebody should please advise him on that,” he said.
