In her words: “This is the Super Eagles we have been waiting for. It is a team with a great deal of cohesion, teamwork, and purpose. Their footwork, maturity on the ball, delightful and elegant passes herald seamless transmission from defense to the attack. Possession football and launching fast counter-attack under Eguavoen are so noticeable and we want them to maintain the tempo.”
“Charles, it will interest you to know that other nationals who were at the stadium watching us cheering Eagles to victory today (yesterday) were proud to leave where they were and associate with us on the stands.
