Onazi Aims To Get His Career Back on Track

  Onazi Aims To Get His Career Back on Track By Emediong Silver Nigeria midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi, is determined to transform his injury-threatened career around in the Danish Superliga with SønderjyskE after injury struggles in Turkey. The Super Eagles midfielder's hopes of breaking to be a regular first team player for regular game time with the Roosters didn't go as scripted because of injury (groin strain and hamstring injury) which saw him to accumulating just nine league matches last season. In his word,he said: "Injuries are inevitable because it's something that happens a lot in football, but it's not been fair to me,"

• "At the most important time in my career is when it happens to me and I have no proper explanation for this. Coming from where it all started I believe I've seen the worst that life has to offer on and off the pitch. I am more hungry and determined to do extra well. I've lost a lot of grounds, but it can only be better from here on. We had other offers from different places but the main reason I chose Denmark is because I haven't played in a while. "I decided to go to a place where I can have proper fitness, get regular game time and test myself mentally. "It was not the best option financially but it's the most challenging and it provides a tough physical challenge.

The training is physical like the German league. "It's a short-term plan but I am prepared to take it one week at a time and after this we can look at something bigger." Onazi, who has 51 international caps, has not played for the three time African champions since 2018 due to poor form and fitness issues.
