While the Nigerian press was surprised that Ozornwafor was called to the national team because he only took 8 minutes during the season, they carried the criticisms made to coach Gernot Rohr on their pages. It was underlined that there might be names that could play for the country and deserve more chances to replace 21-year-old defender Ozornwafor, while comments were made that Ozornwafor had no place in the 23-man squad.
In addition to Ozornwafor from Turkey, Oghenekaro Etebo from Galatasaray also found a place in the squad for Nigeria’s friendly match against Mexico and Cameroon.
Defender Ozornwafor, who was transferred from Nigeria team Enyimba Aba in 2019 for 300 thousand euros, played on loan in Spanish 2nd League team Almeria last year. He played 8 minutes in the 6-0 Gençlerbirliği match played on January 9 this season.
