According to OwnGoalNigeria, Sunday Oliseh, the former captain and coach of the Super Eagles, has given an unexpected evaluation of the team's present talent, omitting the current Africa Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen, from his list of the top two players. Oliseh recently spoke with Elegbete TV, where he praised two current Super Eagles players: Ademola Lookman and Victor Boniface.
The performance of Lookman of Atalanta in the Europa League final and the consistency and all-around quality of Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga were the two players that most impressed Oliseh. According to Oliseh, Boniface is a versatile player who can handle everything. He's a team leader, a player with quickness, aerial strength, and the ability to play with his back to the goal.
When you're up against him, things can get dicey. Oliseh bases his evaluation on his conviction in the significance of adaptability and teamwork, which may cause some to question Osimhen's exclusion. He believes the Super Eagles' success hinges on Lookman and Boniface, two individuals who have the ability to assemble a formidable club.
While Oliseh's thoughts are sure to divide Nigerian football fans, they also show how talented the Super Eagles are and how they might improve for future tournaments.
