Super Eagles Interim Coach, George Finidi, says he is delighted with Friday’s 2-1 victory against the Black Stars of Ghana, the first in 18 years.
Goals from Cyriel Dessers and Ademola Lookman earned the Eagles the victory...
“Coming here to win is a good one for me. First win against Ghana in 18 years, I feel happy for the players, as a coach I just want to do my job, and if we get victories like this it would keep me happy.” “We don’t want to overload the players. Some would definitely come in and we would see the areas where they can come in.” On the performance of debutant Benjamin Tanimu, he said: “Tanimu is a player that I wanted while he was still playing at Bendel Insurance but it didn’t work out. So with all the injuries that we had, we had to look for a player that can substitute and he came to my mind to invite him.
Ordinarily, I would not attempt to delve again into a controversial subject that has created the most crisis and confusion in Nigerian sports administration through the decades. The more one discusses it, the more confusing it gets. Ex-Super Eagles midfielder, Mutiu Adepoju, will mentor students at the second FCV Gladiator Camp scheduled for Grange School, Lagos, from April 1 to 5.
