According to
report, Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh debunk rumours that he does not see
eye-to-eye with his former assistant in the Eagles Austin Jay-Jay Okocha when
he said; ‘’yes, I hate Jay-Jay’’.
A reporter
had asked him to clear the air on rumours that he does not see or stay in the
same room with the former playmaker of the Super Eagles. The hall was like a
graveyard when he made the pronouncement. He looked round and explained
further. “I hate Okocha because anytime we play Tennis, he beats me.
We played at
the weekend at Sheraton Hotel and he defeated me’’. He made light of the rumour
that started after he was appointed coach of the senior national team. Many
still believe that Okocha stabbed Oliseh in the back when he accepted the
captaincy of the Eagles to the 2002 World Cup.
‘’We’re the
best of friends and we played Tennis at the weekend’’, he emphasised. Okocha is
currently the Chairman of Delta State Football Association and Chairman of
NFF’s Study Group.
Speaking on
the Eagles, Oliseh said that he was going to make the Eagles to play team
football combined with individual talents. ‘’If you remember our victories in
1994 and 1996, it was based on individual talents. But we do not have such
individual talents again. What we need to do is to play collectively. That is
what obtains in Germany and Spain. It’s a lot of hardwork. We’re here to do our
best’’, he added.
