This is not a Nigerian thing, it happens to most footballers, but somehow you guys make every problem peculiar to Nigeria. Footballers spend more time with their football clubs, so there is better synergy in their clubs, that is why Foden plays better at City than he does for England, or why Vini Jr is great for Real Madrid, but cannot perform for Brazil. I could give you a thousand examples of this.
True but we have players playing better for their national team than their clubs. Cucurella form picked up with spain before it started showing in his performance at club level. We have players giving the same energy to both club and country, I don't think it's bad if we ask our players to do the same for us. I don't see any player (apart from Osimhen) giving his best to the national team. I get the reason for this players not giving their best but they're doing it too much, at least others play for the pride of their nation. You won't see Moroccan players act the way our Nigerian players are acting same can be said about most nations in the continent.
