Nigeria midfielder Uche Agbo was in the firing line on Friday as Standard Liege were roasted 3-1 by Waasland-Beveren in a Jupiler League match.
Agbo, 22, is on loan from EPL side Watford but has settled in at the club well in his debut career move to Belgium.
He clocked in his 17th appearance of the season but it was a night to forget as his team was hammered on the pitch and the league table sliding to 8th spot after 18 league matches.
The Nigeria International played all 90 minutes in the heated game and even came off lucky without a caution.
Meanwhile, Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr disclosed that arrangements have been made for the match that would be played in the Polish City of Wroclaw.
He added that the idea behind the game is to get the Super Eagles more familiar with European opponents as they face Croatia, Iceland and then Argentina in Group D of the World Cup tournament in Russia.
’Croatia is capable of great things with a team of stars playing in the biggest clubs. This is the most important match, and we hope to prepare for it against opponents similar to Croatia. ‘’So we will play Poland at home on March 23rd.
We are looking for a second opponent in Europe for another FIFA date of the spring.’’ Also, Polish Football Association president and former football great, Zbigniew Boniek confirmed the match. He was quoted as saying by sport.dziennik.pl:
‘’In March, we will probably face Nigeria and South Korea. These teams somehow reflect the mentality and level of the teams we play in the group at the World Cup.
‘’Of course, Nigeria is not Senegal, but somewhere this mentality, the way they move on the pitch, physical strength are similar.‘’
