"... Jason, you'll be coming off for Joey Aribo in the second half," the first words of Gernot Rohri set off a wave of confusion in the Nigeria team's locker room.
Jason's mouth dropped open in shock and confusion, but before he could object to the manager's decision, Gernot Rohri continued talking.
"Iwobi, will also be coming off for Williem Troust-Ekong,"
"We have done well in the first half and have been able to secure a three-goal lead, and in the coming second half, I want you guys to switch to a more defensive gameplay so we can hold out against the pressure from our desperate opponents,"
"We already have a three-goal lead so as long as we can do enough defensively, then there shouldn't be any problems with ending the match in our victory,"
