charge national remain sacked
I have not been sacked and I remain in charge of the national team.
life
It's only football. There's more to life than that.
asks ifs
Who are we to ask God if it is his will.
loss numbers audacity
Our audacity to rise from our losses makes Nigeria the number one footballing nation in Africa!
kids becoming-one goalkeepers
Senzo Meyiwa was just a young kid and was already becoming one of the best goalkeepers in Africa.
player white want
Why would you want to bring a foreign coach? Why? If you bring a foreign coach, you might as well bring foreign players, white players to play for Nigeria. If you bring a European coach, he should also bring oyinbo (white) players. That's how it is.
fields remember mute
I remember when Samuel Okwaraji died on the field, I was mute and I didn't even know what I was doing or what I was saying.
country team winning
I want to work for Nigeria, my blood is here. I captained this team for 14 years, and it is my country. But you people think if there is no Super Eagles we won't exist. I came from another country to coach the Super Eagles so don't think if we don't win my career is over, no. It's just starting.
goalkeepers shattered heard
I heard the South African 'keeper had been killed and I thought it was probably one of their former goalkeepers, but when I confirmed it was Senzo Meyiwa, I was shattered.
player people feels
It's always good to have your players with you, it makes you feel great. That is just it. The coach and the players understand one another but people outside don't understand. But it's good to see him, it's good to see all the players.
confident win
We know we have to win this one, we'll be ok. I'm still confident we'll make the quarter-finals.
