The Chairman, Enugu State Football Association, Chidi Offor-Okenwa, says the Super Eagles’ Group in the forthcoming African Cup of Nations AFCON, is the “group of death”.
Offor-Okenwa said in Enugu on today that there were no minnows in African football and as such, the Super Eagles should not take their opponents for a ride.
He noted that any team that made it to the competition was capable of winning it by virtue of performance.
The chairman, who doubles as Nigeria National League chairman, said that a player who is playing regularly for his clubs was better than a player regarded as a star player warming the bench in his big club.
On the invitation of new players to
the team, Offor-Okenwa noted that such was good for competition and even if it
caused confusion, a good coach would deal well with it.
