The nottingham forest striker of England, Taiwo Awoniyi, returned to action as a substitute for 83 minutes on Sunday, but fervently denied generalized reports that he is desperate for spending more game time for the club and the country.
Sports247 informs that the former youth international, who was initially signed officially by Liverpool, after helping Nigeria win the FIFA U17 2013 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, but could never play a competitive game for the Reds, he remains patient about his possibilities with the ambitious club and obtains more games with the Super Eagles.

Instead of feeling disappointed or thinking about ‘eliminating’ his teammates who are qualified ahead of him, the product of the former Super Eagles Batter, the Imperial Football Academy of Seyi George Olofinjana in Odogbolu in the state of Ogun, said he will continue waiting for his own moment.
Awoniyi, whose late entrance could not prevent your team from getting a very desired victory in Sunday 2-2 on the visit of Leicester City, a philosopher: philosopher: “Football has to do with the competition and the challenges faced. Your moment is your time, and you must make the most of it when it arrives.
“I think, when my time comes, my fans will also see me play. That’s football. I don’t see myself like knocking out someone or surprised. It’s about getting the right time.”
By the way, Sunday’s game at the city’s stadium also saw Ola Aina return in 90 minutes of action for Nottingham, but obtained a 69 -minute yellow card, while Wilfred Onyinye Ndidi also lasted the distance for Leicester, which had Memeh Caleb Okoli since her bank in the 90th minute.
Although Awoniyi only got seven minutes under his boots in the match, when he replaced Ibrahim Sangare in the 83rd minute, former SV Frankfurt, Mainz and the striker of the Berlin union of Germany emphasized that he is not having any doubt about his lack of play time in the club and in the National Team of Nigeria.
Added, “This is an impulse. If it is your time, it is your time; if it is my moment, then it is my moment. This is how I see football. Maybe fans see it in a different way, but we play football what football is about. It is beyond seeing it simply on the field of play.”
Awoniyi, who also played for Nigeria at the level of children under 23, but has not been able to stamp his feet in the mainframe of the senior national team, with only two goals in just ten appearances, concluded with the same philosophical approach to speculation about the doubts he could have due to the lack of recognition he granted in the Super Eagles.
“When it comes to the Super Eagles, it is not about making decisions. It does not depend on you saying: ‘I want to play, I want to be the best striker.’ It’s never your call! Awoniyi, who has also played in the Netherlands and Belgium, applied emphatically.
Sports247 gathered even more than Awoniyi, whose goals saved Nettingham from Beca Basque two seasons ago, they will try again to turn on another late impact in the season, since their team plays West Ham United next weekend and then organize the fellow tickets looking for rivals, Chelsea in his last game of this campaign.
Both matches will contribute greatly to determine the European perspectives for the continental champions of 1979 and 1980, which were for almost five weeks in the third position at the English Premier League table of the season, but now they are seventh with 62 points.
That could be enough to get a ticket in the UEFA Conference League next season, but Awoniyi and Aina would surely prefer the Europa League, whose only space is occupied by Aston Villa in 63 points.
