Nigeria vs Iceland: Rohr speaks on dropping Onazi as Super Eagles vice-captain
rumours claiming that he has dropped Onazi Ogenyi, as the vice-captain
of the team.
The speculations arose after Onazi allegedly had a fight with captain,
John Mikel Obi, just before the start of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, Rohr who is yet to use the
Trabzonspor midfielder at the tournament, explained that he has one
captain and several vice-captains in his squad.
"What I have already said to some of your colleagues (journalists) is
that it's not true. What's happening is that we have one captain and
several vice captains.
"There's one condition to be vice captain. The first condition to be
vice captain is to play, if you're on the bench, the captain is coming
out like it happened in our last game and Onazi is not in the game, he
can't be vice captain.
"We have several vice captains. Onazi was not on the pitch. So I
cannot say Onazi is the vice captain when he is on the bench. If Ahmed
is on the bench, Onazi is on the pitch but Balogun is on the pitch he
is the vice captain. We have one captain and committee of players who
can be vice captain," Rohr said.
