Coach Sunday Oliseh
Nigeria's Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has broken his silence on the controversial news making rounds online since yesterday as he described the altercation between him and former team captain, Vincent Enyeama as a normal disagreement in a family.
The gaffer who spoke with Brila FM radio, said that the storm was over but insisted that Musa, the man who takes over as captain of Eagles have all the qualities of a good captain.
"I want a captain who is disciplined. A leader who can motivate other players. A player who comes to camp early. I want a young player not a retiring player as captain. And Ahmed Musa is that player. He is my captain.
"When you have a new government like our honourable president just came in, he’s picked his ministers. And you have your philosophy and you have your way of working.
"As a coach I have looked at the team and I have looked at Nigeria going forward. We need a captain who will think of staying with Nigeria for several years to come, who is regularly in the front. Ahmed Musa did a great job for us in Tanzania under very difficult circumstance.
"He is a very responsible player and he is the captain of the team. So he is the captain of the team, there is no question of a tussle.
"The players have shown their desire and we are working on stringing them together. It is unfortunate that the home-based players are yet to be given visas but we are hopeful that they will be here for the second match against Cameroon on Sunday."
He also spoke with FootballLive.ng, and said: "There's no question of conforming or not, if you don’t like the decision you can go. We’re not here to build stars we want a solid national team."
