normal disagreement in a family, however, has explained
his actions of stripping first choice goalkeeper Vincent
Enyeama of the Eagles captain’s band and handing it
over to CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed
Musa.
Speaking on Brila radio, Oliseh said that the storm was
over but insisted that Musa, the man who takes over as
captain of Eagles have all the qualities of a good
captain.

‘’I want a captain who is disciplined. A leader who can
motivate other players. A player who comes to camp
early. I want a young player not a retiring player as
captain. And Ahmed Musa is that player. He is my
captain’’, Oliseh said.
When you have a new government like our honourable
president just came in, he’s picked his ministers. And
you have your philosophy and you have your way of
working.
“As a coach I have looked at the team and I have
looked at Nigeria going forward. We need a captain who
will think of staying with Nigeria for several years to
come, who is regularly in the front. And Ahmed Musa
did a great job for us in Tanzania under very difficult
circumstance. He is a very responsible player and he is
the captain of the team. So he is the captain of the
team, there is no question of a tussle.
“The fact that I would like to have somebody (as
captain) who is thinking of playing now and not
somebody who is preparing for retirement or thinking of
life after-football. And I think it’s time we had peace
and quiet around the Super Eagles. That is why I am
glad that most of the players here are finding ways to
work as a team because I get the feeling now that they
are aware that they are representing 170 million
people’’, Oliseh said on Brila. He explained that the
camp was in good mood ahead of today’s match. ‘’The
players have shown their desire and we are working on
stringing them together. It is unfortunate that the
home-based players are yet to be given visas but we
are hopeful that they will be here for the second match
against Cameroon on Sunday’’
