Former Super Eagles Star Samson Siasia has noted that the Super Eagles deserved a pat on the back for coming through with a silver medal from the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 in Cote d’Ivoire.
“It’s not easy to get to the final and they worked very hard defensively,” Siasia said of the Super Eagles scorecard in Cote d’Ivoire. “They (super Eagles) played very well but we didn’t play well in the attack which was our strength; and (Victor) Osimhen for one was isolated in front.”
Yet the former FC Nantes striker lauded the Napoli striker for his devotion to the cause of the team throughout the competition despite not being among the tournament’s top scorer despite his scoring credentials with his Italian outfit.
Nigeria Coach and Nantes forward Samson Siasia has backed Napoli striker Victor Osimhen to be very crucial for Nigeria at just concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
