Former captain and coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Sunday Oliseh says the present Super Eagles team is playing the best brand of football they have ever played since 2006, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Oliseh who works as a commentator at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, where Nigeria have progressed to the semi final where they will be taking on the host Morocco was full of praises for the Eric Chelle led team.
So far they have won all of their games at the ongoing tournament with two or more goals Including a 3-1 win over Uganda, a 4-0 win over Mozambique and a very comprehensive 2-0 win over Algeria in their last three games.
Speaking on the team’s performance so far, Oliseh didn’t mince words when he termed them having the best style of play for the last 20 years.
” Look I don’t know what’s going to happen in the next games, Look I don’t care because people were shouting about the Tunisian game, to me the Tunisian game was not really exceptional, the Tanzania game for me was not the best and I made my opinions clear. It’s no secret”, he said in a broadcast on his YouTube channel.
” But the way this Super Eagles have played the last three games is the best I have seen Super Eagles play in 20 years since 2006. You can say Sunday said this. Ask anybody who is worth his salt as a football analyst to watch our team and they will tell you.
” Nigeria now forces the opposition to play defensive non stop. Nigeria now put pressure on you from the defence, from the midfield. Onyeka (Frank) and Ndidi ( Wilfred) are eating every thing up and then you have Iwobi (Alex). Iwobi is just running the show like an orchestra, and he is just making me laugh when I watch this.
” You know commentating Nigeria is the most difficult thing to do because you want to give all the compliments but at the same time, you say oh no no I have to be neutral”, he said.
