Massive Significance of Samuel Chukwueze’s heroics against Real Madrid

Nigeria’s Samuel Chukwueze was outstanding when they took the trip to face Spanish giants Real Madrid at home in one of the La Liga contests.

It was a characteristic outing for Villarreal man as he inspired his side to a first-ever win over Real Madrid in a long while.

Nigeria’s Chukwueze used his superlative form to prove his mettle against one of the best teams in the European game.

Playing against the Los Blancos side would automatically make his side Villarreal the underdog going into the fixture.

Not even minding the fact that they are playing away from home. But despite these limitations from the Villarreal side Chukwueze rose up to the occasion with two magnificent goals of his own.

And that could be enough for Chukwueze to prove he’s Real Madrid material, especially with the uncertainty surrounding the future of the likes of Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Nigeria can be a world beater

A couple of Nigerian players are making the waves in European football at the moment. Just as the likes of Jay-Jay Okocha, Victor Ikpeba, Kanu Nwankwo and Obafemi Martins have done in the past.

But Nigeria’s underwhelming performance at the International level is making the fans especially the young ones (who didn’t witness the glory days) think that the Nigerian players are average.

But Chukwueze’s showing against a team of Real Madrid quality is proof of Nigeria’s ability to be world beaters if all things being equal in view of Nigeria’s administrative problem.

While similar quality players like Chuba Akpom, Isaac Success, Kelechi Iheanacho and Ademola Lookman are others capable of aiding Nigeria’s course at the International level to a great margin.

They all have the quality to replicate Chukwueze’s form against Real Madrid meaning that the Super Eagles are world-beaters if things are done well within the country’s football unit.

Chukwueze is a world-class talent

Chukwueze is a world-class talent and there is no doubt about that for sure. Though there are some questions regarding his attitude in the final third amid the accuracy of his delivery of crosses into the box.

He’s been criticized in some sects by Nigerian fans who feel that he’s selfish in front of goal while his decision-making needs a lot more improvement.

If he can keep his head down and focus on his output as a player we may well see his talent on display over and over again.

As he’s such a talent to reckon on his day as he showed against Carlo Ancelotti Real Madrid side.
