2023 AFCON: What You Must Do To Win - Ex- International To Super Eagles Players

By Sampson Adedeji

Former Nigeria International Mutiu Adepoju has advised the current Super Eagles players what to do to emerge, as the winner of the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Adepoju was part of the victorious Eagles of 1994 under Coach Clemence Westrnoff and he also played in the World Cup the same year.

While speaking to the Punch Correspondent, the former Real Sociedad of Spain midfielder said they must have the same vision and focus.

" I don’t think any of them knew what happened and even knew most of the players (in 1994). 

I don’t know what they must have seen or learnt before now. But what I can say is that it is not enough to have good players playing very well in their clubs. That is to say, talent is not enough. 

First, you need talent as a player because if you don’t have it, things will be difficult but there are a lot of other things that will complement it.

 One of the things is for the players and officials to have the same vision and think in the same direction.

They must work towards achieving a common goal by helping one another with dedication and determination. It’s just about bringing everything it takes to succeed together.

 There must be no bad blood, everyone must know their strengths and limitations and be ready to help one another in the team", he said.
