‘Super Eagles failed Nigerians in 2014’ – Kanu Nwakwo

Must read

Former Super Eagles’ midfielder, Nwankwo Kanu has expressed his disappointment in the country’s football following the inability of the team to scale through to the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Kanu stated that the coaching crew and the players has much work to do in 2015 to revive the confidence and the lost glory of Nigeria football.

Speaking with Goal news on Tuesday, December 30, 2014, Kanu stated that Nigeria football is a failure and needs to identify what went wrong so as to fashion out a way to put Super eagles back on the path of the usual giant that it is known for;

“It is quite clear and we don’t need to shy away from the fact that Nigerian football did not fare well in the outgoing year,” Kanu stated.

“This is as a result of the Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations holding in Equatorial Guinea.

“So if we are not featuring among the best countries in Africa that would participate in the 2015 Afcon, it simply means that something [went] wrong with our football this year.

“We didn’t do well in the game this year, it’s just the honest truth. There is nothing good to write home about as regards the senior national team of Nigeria.

“Mind you, Fifa rates our performance based on the Super Eagles not the age grade or women national teams’ performances.

“It has been a disappointing year for Nigerian football. But by God’s grace, 2015 would be a new beginning for us.

“I sincerely pray that everybody involved in the entire crisis and problems that bedeviled Nigerian football in the year 2014 will sit back and look at themselves and have a rethink, have a change of mind and start working in earnest for the growth and good of the game in the country,” He added.
