Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali has reacted to insinuations that there is a big rivalry between him and Udinese of Italy goalie, Stanley Nwabali.
According to Nwabali there is no rivalry between them.
Nwabali was drafted into the Super Eagles squad at the time the team had goalkeeping crisis and pundits said he proved himself at 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire.
However, Okoye has been recalled to the team by head coach Finidi George after an impressive debut season at Serie A club Udinese.
It’s believed that Okoye’s return will add competition to the goalkeeping department of the Super Eagles.
Nwabali, however, said there is no rivalry between him and the former Watford shot-stopper
“There’s no debate. If Maduka can give what he’s giving Udinese to the country, then he should play,” Nwabali told Lagos Talks.
“It’s not like a club side, where you see a new signing and you talk about fighting, No. This is the country we are playing for, we are representing this green white green, and we want to see everyone happy.”
