“Alright, so Nigeria has won 4-1. We are closing in on qualifying for the World Cup. Now, Nwabali, our keeper, you are a very good keeper. God will bless you for all the effort you have put so far. But you see, your overconfidence is too much,” he said.

VDM noted that in previous games, Nwabali’s tendency to take risks almost led to costly mistakes and advised him to stay focused as the qualifiers continue.

“You are good, but your overconfidence will put you in a problem very soon. The big stage is coming. Please take note,” he added.

Despite his criticism, VDM expressed his admiration for the Chippa United shot-stopper, assuring him of the fans’ support.

“You are our good keeper. We like you. We love you. Thank you for your service,” he concluded.

Nwabali has been one of Nigeria’s standout players since his impressive performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), where he helped the Super Eagles reach the final.
