Return Super Eagles To Lagos, Says Oliseh by phemmyutd(m): 4:19pm On Jun 27, 2015
The former Nigeria skipper believes the National
Stadium in Lagos will help bring the best out of
the Super Eagles during international games
Former Nigeria international Sunday Oliseh has
clamoured for the Super Eagles’ return to the
National Stadium, Lagos for their international
matches.
In the space of 12 months, the former African
champions have played in several stadia in the
country where they have recorded contrasting
results.
According to the former Borrusia Dortmund star,
the surest bet for the country to remain invincible
at home is by bring them back to their former
fortress in Lagos.
“It’s a lot easier now to play for Nigeria and I
guess that is one of the reasons we are not doing
so well now. In those days, you go to the National
Stadium, Lagos in front 100, 000 fans,” Oliseh said
during an interview with Brila Fm.
“After 20 minutes, you have not scored, the fans go
crazy and your family lives in Lagos; that is
pressure. When you go to the Africa Cup of Nations
or the World Cup and you know that second is not
enough; that is pressure. When you have to play
and the future of your family is at stake; that is
pressure.
“I’m overtly telling them that if we want to go back
to the top; we need to bring the Super Eagles back
to Lagos
“If England have an important match to play, they
play you at Wembley because that is where they
have the greatest number of fans and that is where
it becomes emotional for the players. The National
Stadium is our own Wembley.
“I played for Nigeria for 10 years and we never lost
at the National Stadium. That shows you how
mythical it was to play there. The players need
that kind of atmosphere to perform,” he concluded.
