Okala blames Uzoho’s trainer for goalkeeper’s poor show

Francis Uzoho

Former Green Eagles Goalkeeper, Emmanuel Okala, has advised those blaming Francis Uzoho for Super Eagles’ 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia last Friday to think twice.

“I don’t even know the current goalkeeper trainer of the Super Eagles. To me, all the blames should not go to Uzoho for the 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia,” Okala said from his base in Enugu, yesterday.
  
After the game in Portugal, Cyprus-based Uzoho admitted that his mistake put the Saudis ahead in the friendly, adding, however, that it should not take away the fact that he posted a decent outing.
 
“Generally, it was a good game for us, but the result didn’t reflect our performance. We make mistakes, but we learn from our mistakes.
 
“My position is a big position. And that position makes mistakes. You can make 10 saves, control your area well, but just one mistake, people will forget all that. We try our best to do well, the fans should keep supporting whoever is in goal, and they should be more supportive,” he said.
