He stated that the Super Eagles are contending for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, title because the group has a great feeling of unity.
He also stated that the team’s success stems from the fact that its young, skilled players have something to prove.
In an interview with Hot Sport he said “I think all of us now playing in respectable teams in respect of the leagues, one or two in better teams than others, but everyone is young and wants to prove something and that’s what probably makes us a good team”.
“We are all in this together and as soon as we arrived here in the camp, I don’t think anyone thinks about what club they play for. It’s a real brotherhood going on. That’s making us play well.
“We don’t have any superstars in our team, I think before there’s been generations with Nigeria that they’ve had a lot of players playing in big teams.
“However much that’s helped the team it might have also been a bit difficult because you have different agendas maybe and you have to take into account a lot of different players and different mentalities” he added.
