It has been reported that there is a serious rift between Leicester City forward Ahmed Musa
and Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr because of the player’s attitude.
“He seemed to have some problems with the team when Samson Siasia was briefly in charge, but he made the mistake of carrying this into
Rohr’s regime.
That has not helped him,” an
official told SCORENigeria....
“His general attitude in camp has not been good.”
Rohr overlooked Ahmed Musa to lead the Eagles against Senegal in London last week
when he handed Ogenyi Onazi the captain’s armband instead.
It was further learnt that immediately after this
decision, the Leicester City star hurriedly called a players’ meeting during which he announced he will no longer be assistant captain of the
team.
“That was very childish of him,” blasted a team official.
Rohr revealed on radio that Ahmed Musa was
excused from camp to attend to family issues, but SCORENigeria has since gathered the player
asked to leave camp, and he did that at the crack of morning.
But this was only the culmination of the
problems between player and coach as Rohr
has been far from pleased with Ahmed Musa’s
general attitude particularly on the pitch.
It would be recalled that Ahmed Musa drove into the team’s training camp with an expensive
Range Rover Sports he had acquired just days
to a crucial World Cup qualifier in Zambia in October.
The coach was miffed by this as he expected
all the players in camp to focus totally on the
game in Ndola, Zambia.
“The coach did not even mind this. It’s the
player’s attitude he has not been happy with,”
further informed another official. “He did not pull his weight even in training.”
