” Something is definitely not right with Musa and Rohr. The way he left the camp on the grounds of family issues as claimed by Rohr is not true in anyway. He doesn’t seem happy with the coach after losing the vice captain role.
“Musa didn’t challenge Rohr openly but his reaction says it all. You know the Super Eagles coach is a very experienced man, so he is trying to play it down but I doubt if Musa will called up for future games.
” I gathered it all started from the game against Algeria, when Musa asked for his new car to be driven to the camp of the team before the game. It distracted the players as it became the main gist in the camp instead of the game.
” Then the Mosque incident happened just two days to the game. Musa has not conducted himself in a matured manner and it could cost him his spot in the team, regardless of his talents”.
