Peter Rufia: Oliseh Needs To Evaluate Himself

As the Super Eagles of Nigeria prepare to play against the pahroes of Egypt in the  Africa Cup Of Nations qualifiers , Former Nigeria International shot stopper, Peter Rufia, has told Sunday Oliseh to Evaluate himself.

'Dodomayana' as he was fondly called during his playing days, explains that the country does not lack expertise when it comes yo football, but the need to see failure as a lesson, rather than dwelling on it. Because it is a building process, since the Eagles are passing through that stage.

" We don’t have anything missing in terms of expertise in our football. I only believe Oliseh would evaluate himself and then pick-up over expectations and work towards the victory of this crucial encounter," he told Naij.com

Chukwu: Tunisia And Guinea Will Be Tough For Nigeria

As the Home based Super Eagles of Nigeria kicked of their campaign at the Africa Nations Championship on a good note, after they whipped the ' Menas' of Niger   4-1 in yesterday’s second match in the Group C game, former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu has heaped praises on the team, adding that the victory is a sure booster against their next game.

“It’s a good result and the right way to starttheir title campaign at the African Nations Championship in Rwanda. The massive win will certainly motivate the team to go further in the biennial football championship.

“Of course, Tunisia and Guinea will certainly be tougher than Niger Republic given the hard fought 2-2 draw in their own clash.“Three points is quite good for the Eagles going forward in the championship in Kigali, Rwanda,” he told supersport.com.

Eagles will face Tunisia on Friday at the Stade Regional Nyami-rambo in Kigali.

Opinion: Looking Beyond Niger Victory

Many thought the the home-based Eagles, won' t be able to fly past their  fellow West African neighbours, but they got thrilled with an entertaining game as they thrashed the 'Menas' of Niger by four goals, which their opponent were able to pull one back, through Zakari Adebayor.

Was the Victory Worth Celebrated?

No doubts, the Super Eagles gaffer, Sunday Oliseh knows what he is doing, but a victory against a team that many see as the under- dog in group C, which has Tunisia, Guinea, Niger and Nigeria it self.

Winning the first game in any competitive tournament is very sacrosanct, not just winning, but also getting the much desire goals, which the ' Local Players' did, thanks to beautiful goals from Okoro and Chikartara Elvis, who scored and hat trick.

Nobody is saying the Eagles should not celebrate, but they should also have it ' pasted on their forehead' (Focus) that they face a more tactical team, which is Tunisia, and our North African brothers won't hesitate to feed  on any little mistake we make, when we face them.

Was Oliseh Right To Make Early Changes?

  As par the early changes made by Oliseh, nothing was wrong. He saw some players were not in the game and made early substitutions which paid off, although it might have been risky, if one the players had injury, but all in all, it worked out well.

We say congrats to the team and we hope to see them repeat same feat, when they square up against Tunisia in their next group game.
