Super Eagles and Lazio midfielder Ogenyi Onazi says Sunday Oliseh's
retirement last week was a surprise to him but respects his decision and
feels the Super Eagles have enough in their armoury to
defeat the
Pharaoh's of Egypt in the AFCON Qualifiers later this month.
'His resignation came to me as a surprise. I wasn't expecting it. I
don't really know what happened and how it happened, but that's his
decision, I am sure he has his reasons for doing that. Coach Samson
Siasia is a great coach, he has achieved with various Nigeria teams. I
am looking forward to work with him and have a great performance with
him.' He told CompleteSportsNigeria.
When asked if the Super Eagles could beat Egypt and
qualify for Afcon after missing out on the last one, Onazi said.
'We will make it to AFCON 2017 by the grace of God. This time, it's
going to be a different ball game. It's unfortunate that we are always
in situation like this when we want to qualify for major competitions
like the Nations Cup and World Cup.'
'I believe this time around we will be matured about it and we know how
the emotions were when we couldn't make it to the last edition of the
Nations Cup. We will be very direct and serious about it.'
'There are no unbeatable teams in the world. We can actually beat them.
They are coming to our home first and victory in the match is very
important for us.'
' We have to do all we can to beat them and go top of the group because
that's the surest way we can qualify.'
