I want a disciplined captain - Oliseh

Coach Sunday Oliseh has given reasons why he stripped goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama of the Super Eagles captain's arm band.

Here is what Oliseh told Brila Sports Radio.

‘’I want a captain who is disciplined. A leader who can motivate other players. A player who  comes to camp early. I want a young player not a retiring player as captain. And Ahmed Musa is that player. He is my captain.

“As a coach I have looked at the team and I have looked at Nigeria going forward. We need a captain who will think of staying with Nigeria for several years to come, who is regularly in the front. And Ahmed Musa did a great job for us in Tanzania under very difficult circumstances . He is a very responsible player and he is the captain of the team. So he is the captain of the team, there is no question of a tussle.

“The fact is that I would like to have somebody (as captain) who is thinking of playing now and not somebody who is preparing for retirement or thinking of life after football. And I think it’s time we had peace and quiet around the Super Eagles. That is why I am glad that most of the players here are finding ways to work as a team because I get the feeling now that they are aware that they are representing 170 million people."
