Former Nigeria winger, Garba Lawal, has given his verdict on why Paul Onuachu turns into a scoring monster for Trabzonspor but goes quiet when representing the Super Eagles.
Onuachu has been unstoppable in the Turkish Super Lig this season, racking up 22 goals and helping Trabzonspor climb to third place.
However, the 31-year-old scored just four goals in 34 caps for the Super Eagles.
“People need to understand that playing for your country is a completely different challenge,” Lawal told Footy Africa.
“At club level, you have the luxury of time and consistent minutes to find your rhythm, but with the national team, you don’t have time to gel and If you don’t produce instantly, you risk being dropped.”
