Super Eagles interim coach, Austin Eguavoen, talks about the team’s defeat by Tunisia at the AFCON, his efforts to psyche up the players ahead of the 2022 World Cup play-offs and more, in this interview with JOHNNY EDWARD in Garoua, CameroonEagles defeat by Tunisia came as a shock, after they were ranked favourites to win the Africa Cup of Nations. How did you take it?
I was so happy that he could receive that pass but you know some players need one or two chances to score a goal while some others need five chances to score one goal. For a young boy like Umar coming to a major tournament like this for the first time, it’s expected. He was a bit nervous and you could see that in the first two games, but after we talked with him and channeled his mind to the right place, the result is what you saw when he came on against Tunisia.
You took charge of this team less than three weeks. What did you do differently to turn the squad around?
My brother buhari is responsible for the exit ask Anthony Joshua
He wan collect salary ...i understand
You and Samson Siasia are good coach. The referee and VAR are not good.
Coachie, that goal was an amateur blunder by a professional goalkeeper. Unacceptable!!!
DSS would have come for him if he had said otherwise. But he knows what he knows
😏
That call actually has a great effect on our loss sir
Nigerians don't forget quickly. Eguavon 1994. Olofinjana 2004. Ayegbeni 2010. Iwobi 2021. Okoye 2021. The bottom line is don't let Nigeria's defeat be attributed to your error. Otherwise, you will continue to explain all your life.
You wan retain your job
If you like pick his call again… against GHANA
