Popular football personality, Samuel Olatunji-Okuku has come out to say that Super Eagles are the team to beat at AFCON 2021. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he expects the Nigerian national team to be a hard nut to crack for any opponent because they look really complete at the moment.
Samuel added that it is good to see that we finally have a coach who understands what he is doing with the current group of players.
His words, “Although the previous encounters between both nations have been so close, I want to believe that Nigeria are the team to beat at the moment.”
“We will be a tough nut to crack for the Tunisians and in my own opinion, we have nothing to worry about because we have the talent.”
“Also, we have a coach who understands what he’s doing and for the first time in years, I see Super Eagles play the brand of football we were known for.”
“I expect the coach to tell them ‘look, we are not going to focus on how anyone plays, we will be arrogant with the way we want to play’ because we have individual and collective talents to do so.”
“The other day, he was pressing with three men up front, and it was really easier for us to win the ball high up the pitch to the pace of [Taiwo] Awoniyi.”
“Sometimes, Eguavoen adopts a 4-2-3-1 system while on a low block. I’ll advise against this against the Tunisians due to their creativity in the final third.”
