Francis Uzoho, the Super Eagles’ goalkeeper, has a reputation for not playing at his peak right now, particularly in the team’s most recent friendly match against Mozambique.
Francis Uzoho gave up a relatively soft goal in the friendly match that took place in Portugal on October 16, 2023, and the Super Eagles found it difficult to defeat Mozambique, who played with one fewer player for the final forty-five minutes.
Uzoho, who presently plays for the Cypriot First Division team Omonia, came under fire both online and off after the friendly match.
The majority of Super Eagles supporters wondered why, in spite of the 24-year-old goalie’s multiple mistakes, coach Jose Pasiero continued to invite him and start him in games.
Francis Uzoho posted a photo of himself on his Snapchat account on Tuesday along with the pidgin message, “If easy go do am, make oyibo man sign you,” along with a peace emoji in response to the outpouring of criticism.
Francis Uzoho, the goalkeeper for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has expressed regret to his “loyal fans” whom he offended after they chastised him for his poor goalkeeping.
The goalkeeper was forced to apologize for his outburst in a social media statement on Thursday, October 19, after receiving additional criticism over the post.
“It has come to my attention that my recent behavior on Snapchat has not been at my best toward you all as my loyal fans,” stated Francis Uzoho.
“I sincerely regret for any offense caused, as I never intended to behave in this way against the fans who have encouraged and supported me throughout my career.
“I’ll keep the identity confidential for the time being, but my actions were more motivated by irritation with the conduct of someone in my circle.
“One of my responsibilities is to take criticism, which I frequently appreciate from those who stick by me. I respect your criticisms and recognize that you’re all trying to push me to perform better.

“I want you all to know that you are an essential part of my success and personal development, and that I am still growing every day as a person and in my work. I intend and will keep acting in a way that reflects this.
