No be small matter o! Frank Onyeka, the Naija midfield general, dey gbadun AFCON vibes with Super Eagles but him level for Brentford no too sweet. This brother don only see pitch for 88 minutes this whole Premier League season, na wah!
As him dey shine for Nigeria side in Morocco, Onyeka don dey reflect on how e dey struggle to find him feet back for di Bees. With only six appearances for di club and all from bench, e no surprise say the guy dey vex small for how tings dey go.
Facing Algeria for quarter-finals on Saturday, left to am, e dey pray make him fit carry di same energy wey dem dey use run things for di national side back go Brentford. Adey to jump, dey run, and bring am for di show! Di broda don gather experience for Bundesliga before, so e sabi wetin e dey talk.
Na last season im dey flourish for Augsburg, play more than 30 matches, but now na wood work style for Brenford. But e no dey throw in towel, as im talk say every player go dey frustrated when dem no dey play. Him remain committed, dem no fit kill di hunger wey dey him belle.
The current manager, Keith Andrews, no too shake things from di previous boss, Thomas Frank wey don waka go Tottenham. Onyeka sure say di philosophy wey dey di club still dey intact. E talk say, “E no get much difference between di two managers. Dem both dey run di same show.”
Di Naija boy dey look forward to keep him form sharp while e dey help di Super Eagles make things happen for di AFCON. Im don talk say competition dey help dem as players dey push demself to do better every time. Dem dey prepare to show Algeria say dem no dey play play.
As he dey prepare for di quarter-final, onyeka go still keep eye for wetin go happen for Brentford. Him contract dey carry am go 2027, so im get time to adjust and build him position. Na only if dem go give am chance make him land for field again.
