Threats: Nwabali vows to return to his South African club side, says no reason to fear

Nwabali




The Goalkeeper of the national team, Stanley Nwabali, has said he will be returning to his South African club side, Chippa United because he has no reason to fear going back.

Speaking to State House Correspondents after President Bola Tinubu hosted the Super Eagles at the end of the CAFs African Cup of Nations (AfCON), which was concluded in Abdijan, Cote dIvoire, last Sunday.

Despite playing for a South African club, Nwabali was allegedly threatened on social media by some ardent Bafana Bafana supporters for his role in their teams elimination at the semi-final stage.

He stopped two penalty kicks by Bafana Bafana players in the decider penalty stage, during the Nigerian “ South African semi-final match at the Stade de la Paix, in Bouake.

Asked if he would be returning to Chippa United despite the threat, Nwabali said \

Definitely, I must go back to my club, but talking about the threat, this is football, you cant threaten someone because they also won some other teams too. How about if those they beat decided to keep threatening your players? It doesnt make sense. It is football; I dont think theres anything attached to it. Maybe it was just someone writing on social media.

But its cool to me because I spoke to my chairman like three days ago, but he didnt say anything like all those stuff. So he feltlike ˜no, its cool, you can come back. Definitely I must go back to my club because they owe me, he said.(Daily Sun)
