New Super Eagles winger Olakunle Olusegun says fans of the team will in the coming days get to see his best after making his competitive debut in the 4-0 win over Benin Republic in the world cup qualifiers, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
A former player for the Nigeria U17 team he was a second half substitute in the game that sealed Nigeria’s spot in the playoff scheduled for next month in Morocco. His debut came in the 1-1 friendly draw against Russia.
On loan from Russian side Krasnodar to fellow league side Pari NN, his performance sparked mixed reactions with his pace mainly cited as his strength but his final ball was a huge let down in three promising positions.
” Playing for Super Eagles is different from playing at your club. So many players you watched on TV some years ago and suddenly become your teammates. It’s not easy to process”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” I know I will get better with time and thankfully the coach likes my game. The fans will get to know me more and appreciate me better by the grace of God”, the 24 year old concluded.
