Super Eagles legend, Jay-Jay Okocha has come out to say that he cannot understand the treatment of Maduka Okoye after his blunder in the previous Africa Cup of Nations. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Okoye is a goalkeeper who has the type of training and football upbringing that we need in a Super Eagles goalie, so he does not understand how he was excluded from the AFCON squad.
Okocha added that it is a strange decision as far as he is concerned, and he hopes Nigeria won’t suffer for it eventually.
His words, “[Okoye] is the one keeper who has the type of training and football upbringing that we need in a goalkeeper in the national team. But he is excluded. It’s strange.
The way he was handled [after the Round of 16 game against Tunisia] talks about the quality of player management in the national team.”
WOW.
