As preparations for the CHAN 2014 African Nations Championship reaches the crucial bend, some members of the national team based abroad have been sending positives across to encourage the team ahead of the tourney, which starts January 11, 2014 in South Africa.
The latest to speak on the team’s chances are Lazio of Italy playmaker, Ogenyi Onazi, and Academica Du Combra of Portugal combative midfielder, John Ogu.
Eagles Media Officer, Ben Alaiya, quotes the two players as saying that with the quality they have seen of the players each time they were in camp together, there is no team in Africa that will be good enough for the CHAN trophy in South Africa than the Super Eagles.
Here Onazi: “We are the African champions and we are sure that by the close of the competition, our brothers at home will not let us down because they will win the CHAN trophy to sustain what we have jointly achieved.
“Luckily for us, we have the same coach for us and our brothers at home.
“I see no obstacle ahead.”
On his part, Ogu praised the impact Eagles Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, has had in his career and said he believes that the same was being extended to players in the CHAN Eagles.
Ogu said: “Just help me tell my teammates that I’m here rooting for them and very sure that by the end of the day, they will be celebrating with the Cup back home in Nigeria.
“Greet Coach for me too oooo.”
