1 / 2

Former Super Eagles striker Osaze Odemwingie says players based outside Europe’s top leagues should not captain their national teams. Speaking to Brila FM, he cited former Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo as examples. Odemwingie argued that captaincy should reflect a player’s current competitive level, not past achievements. Ronaldo remains Portugal’s most-capped player and all-time leading scorer, but Odemwingie believes his recent international form shows that the team should move on from relying on his reputation.
