Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi wants FIFA to sanction Blaise Matuidi of France for the hard tackle that led to his injury and ouster from the game that led to his removal.
He said he is surprised that despite the protestations of Argentine legend, Diego Maradona against the French player, the midfielder has not been sanctioned for the hard tackle on him that tore his left leg tendon.
Speaking in Brasilia after undergoing surgery on the injured left leg, Onazi said what FIFA has done is not to respect the rules that they themselves have set.
“The French side will announce to the world before a game that we are very physical so that they can come and commit murder and get away with it, yet FIFA will fold their arms and do nothing. I am totally in tune with Maradona, who believes that the tackle on me was worst that what Luis Suarez did to Italian Chellini.”
“I will please beg that FIFA should go back and watch the tape of the game and apply necessary sanctions for the good of the game, otherwise it’s Nigeria today, it could be another big country tomorrow. Justice must be done”, he declared.
