Former Super Eagles Captain, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, on Thursday, urged the Super Eagles to be more consistent and stable in their quest to maintain the team’s status as Africa’s number one.
He gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the unveiling of the African Heroes Penalty Cup in Lagos.
According to him, the Super Eagles team had been less impressive in recent years missing important competitions like the World Cup.
“We all want to see our Super Eagles doing well, we know how it is painful not to be in the World Cup, the team needs to steady the ship.
“The Super Eagles need to be more consistent, which is so obvious that they are not. We all know that we are a demanding nation when it comes to football.
“We are not short of talents, so it is all about putting a strong team together; a team that can represent the nation the way they should.
“We as ex-players will always support them and wish them all the best, ”he said.
Okocha also advised Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to remain grounded and keep the passion and spirit high. It is clear that he plays with hunger and that is what I like about him.
“Osimhen should not let down his guards,” he advised.
