According to Oliseh, the knockouts will be a different kettle of fish from the group stages, starting with the Round of 16
Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has cautioned Eric Chelle’s side ahead of their Round of 16 encounter with Mozambique at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
According to Oliseh, the knockouts will be a different kettle of fish from the group stages, starting with the Round of 16
The Super Eagles won all their three group fixtures – the only team to achieve the feat.
By the end of the group stages, Eric Chelle’s men scored eight goals and conceded four.
“We’re starting the round of 16. What changes here now is that if you lose, you go home,” Oliseh said on his podcasy.
“It is no longer important how beautiful you play; what matters is the result, and that is why the Super Eagles have to make sure their priority is not conceding.”
