Former Strasbourg forward, Simon Zenke, has identified Emmanuel Fernandez and Chibuike Nwaiwu as the two Super Eagles players who impressed him after Nigeria’s international friendly 2-1 win against Iran on Friday.
Recall that Fernandez and Nwaiwu replaced both Semi Ajayi and Igoh Ogbu, respectively, during the encounter in Antalya, Turkey.
“I’m happy with what I saw in the game against Iran, and the win was very good,” Zenke told Footy-Africa.
“I was particularly impressed with the two players – Fernandez and Nwaiwu – who came on as substitutes.
“The reality now is that Nigeria has a variety of options in central defence, and that is a very positive development,” he added.
