".. . . these boys playing now have definitely gathered some points so those who want to displace them would have to fight for shirts. They have to show the hunger to play for Nigeria. Everyone here is replaceable. Only Nigeria cannot be replaced. I retired and people are still playing for the country. Nobody is indispensable.”
These are the exact words of Super Eagles gaffer, Sunday Oliseh. He was responding to a reporter's question about the absence of John Mikel Obi and Victor Moses from the team.
After they beat Niger Republic 2 - 0 in an international friendly, Oliseh lauded the boys for improving on their performance in the AFCON qualifier in Dar es Salaam last Saturday.
The two goals were scored by Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon in the 11th and 85th minutes respectively.
Meanwhile, former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu has said that the win against Niger will serve as a morale booster for the boys.
"I believe this win against Niger is good for the morale of the team. They face a massive task against Egypt in their next qualifying game and need to go into that game in confident mood, ” he said.
