Super Eagles legend, Sunday Oliseh has hailed the current Nigerian team as the best he has seen in the last 20 years, Softfootball reports.
Nigeria beat Algeria 2-0 in the quarter-final to setup a semi-final clash against the host Morocco later this evening. The 3-time Africa Cup of Nation (AFCON) champions have been performing at a very high level with the likes of Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman scoring a combine seven goals and the team winning five Man-of-the-Match awards so far.
Sunday Oliseh was speaking on the official podcast of penalty spot with Toyo and expressed how impressed he has been with the current Super Eagles side. He said:
I don’t know what’s doing to happen in the next games but people are shouting the Tunisia game but for me that game is not really exceptional. The Tanzania game was not also and I made my opinions clear, its no secret anymore, But the way, the way these Super Eagles have played the last three games, it’s the best I’ve seen the Super Eagles play in 20 years. In 20 years, since 2006 and you can say Sunday said this.
Oliseh, who is working as a commentator at the ongoing 35th Africa Cup of Nations has been drawing some attention since the competition started. Oliseh was not happy with how the Super Eagles played despite winning their opening match where Nigeria beat Tanzania 2-1.
