The Founder and Director of All Nations Sports Academy(ANSA) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Coach Johnson Oma Obrunu, has enjoined the Nigeria Football Federation to make sure that this current Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle and team is kept intact.
Coach Johnson Obrunu, who could not hide his admiration for the team despite their defeat at the semi final to host Egypt on Wednesday, said “It’s been a long time I saw a Super Eagles team play a delightful football with purpose. Only the Super Eagles set of 1994 and that of 1996 can be compared to this current Super Eagles team but if the news going round that because the Coach couldn’t take the team to the final as it’s written in his contract he will be sacked, I don’t thing that will do our major football brand, the Super Eagles any good.”
Coach Obrunu, who played for Delta Stars and NEPA fc, and coached in Oman before setting up his own football Academy in Dubai that includes categories of Under-10, Under-13, Under-15, Under-17 and the Senior boys, reiterates: “To be frank and sincere, under Coach Chelle, the team shows strong attacking and defending mindedness. Every player is involved in defending when we loose the ball. Their ball possession is great, except the last match against Morocco. Kudos to Alex Iwobi, he’s doing well in the midfield, but we still need a player in the mold of Austin Jay Jay Okocha who can dictate the rhythm of the game. And to me, Coach Chelle should be retained as Super Eagles Coach. He still needs more time to groom the players together. Unlike Super Eagles of 1994/1996, those set of play together as a team for long.”
