Let’s go back to the basics – Kanu

Former Nigeria captain, Nwankwo Kanu has added his voice to the growing concern over the quality of personnel in the current national team.

Reacting to the two international friendly matches the Super Eagle played under the new coach, the former African footballer of the year said, “right now, the Eagles are not the type of team we all desire. They should not allow the victory over Zambia get into their heads because as it is, the team is not good enough.”

Kanu recommended a thorough overhaul of the team by Coach Stephen Keshi for a fresh start in Nigeria’s long rebuilding process. “We must go back to the basics, our football is struggling and we must go back to the Super Eagles people used to know. We should get players who are ready to fight for shirts and who have the zeal to excel,” Kanu remarked.
