CURRENT SUPER EAGLES LACK TRUE LEADERSHIP – IDEYE
Nigerian international Brown Ideye believes the current Super Eagles lack real leadership that will help propel the team to a higher level.
Ideye made this known in an X-space conversation hosted by The Naija Football Conference, where he noted that the absence of a genuine leader in the present Super Eagles team is evident.
The former West Bromwich Albion star noted that the current Super Eagles players lack passion and spirit of nationalism and are not desperate to defend the colours of Nigeria.
“A leader has to be someone who has been in that team for years and years. In the present Super Eagles, we don’t have those players like Enyeama and Yobo anymore,” Ideye stated.
“Who do you want to give a leader, Ekong? It’s not about having the captain’s armband. Can Ekong sit Osimhen, Chukwueze, and Lookman down and speak to them? No.
“I don’t see Osimhen sitting down with Ekong and hearing everything he has to say without saying something back.”
