Ahead of the September 5  Africa Cup of Nations qualifying tie between the Taifa Stars of Tanzania and the Super Eagles in Dar Es Salaam, former Flying Eagles captain, Franklin Howard Super has lauded the burning desire in both the national team players and their handler, Sunday Oliseh, saying the coach  has set the right tone for victory.

“I’m happy at Oliseh’s plan for the game. The players both home-based and their foreign counterparts have all shown a burning desire to give their best in the match”

Howard added, “It is also good news  that the NFF have backed Oliseh by providing him with the  necessary instruments he requires as a coach to lift our game high.”

Howard, was confident Oliseh would succeed in this first outing with the team, because he has shown he is one with a vision  and the capacity to turn the fortunes of the national team on an upward swing.

“He knows all about being in the spotlight.”

He said the former Eagles mid-field player and Olympic gold medal winner has been in the corridors of football for long, hence he knows how to compose and shape his team having seen what those before him, both foreign and local did right or wrong.
