AFCON 2023: Super Eagles have improved a lot, says Nwosu

Posted : 28 January 2024

Former Nigerian international, Felix Nwosu, applauded the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Saturday for their 2-0 victory over the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the knockout stage of the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote D'Ivoire.


Nwosu, a versatile defender during his playing days, noted that the current squad of the Jose Peseiro-tutored side has improved on their performances, departing from their group stage displays.


The Super Eagles, at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan in the second knockout game, tore the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon apart, with Atalanta FC winger Ademola Lookman netting a brace in the 36th and 90th minutes.


An elated Nwosu praised the bravery of the Super Eagles and their determination to defeat arch-rival Cameroon in the knockout stage of AFCON 2023.


"I am so happy for the Super Eagles; we never expected such a wonderful style of play from the squad. I was also nervous when our first-choice goalkeeper was stretched off to be replaced by Uzoho.


"I was nervous because I know how dangerous the Cameroonians can be, but thank God our defenders were able to prevent outside shots, which often troubles our goalkeeper.


"Today, I have seen a more coordinated team, a more improved team. We are getting stronger and more determined, moving away from some lackluster performances in the group stage.


"We, in the business of football, have been complaining about tactics and formation, but judging from the way we played today, if we continue, we are good for the final," he said.


Nwosu advised that the team should be more decisive and focused as stronger opponents lie ahead.


"We should be more focused now because all eyes will be on us. We should not have much trouble playing Angola, but caution should be the watchword.


"We still have other hurdles ahead, maybe when we meet a team like Senegal, so we need to put our heads up," he advised.
