Former midfielder of the Russian national football team Maxim Demenko believes that the head coach of the national team Valery Karpin wants to evaluate the capabilities of the Russian striker of Nigerian origin German Onugha.
Onugha was the top scorer in the Danish championship last season, scoring 15 goals in 31 matches. He was included in the extended roster of the Russian national team for the September training camp and friendly matches against Vietnam and Thailand, which will be held on September 5 and 7 in Hanoi.
— In any case, those people who pass on information to Karpin report that the player has improved. Perhaps there are game clips. In any case, Valery Georgievich looked at him. Probably, that is why he was included in the extended list, to assess his capabilities. If the person is disciplined, physically prepared, then why not, — Demenko told Gazeta.ru.
