Ex-international Austin Okocha is still
ruing the failure of the Super Eagles
to qualify for the African Cup of
Nations.
“Those that qualified for the finals
have earned it. Concerning Nigeria, it
is useless to lament.
“Nigeria was favored to be among
the 16 qualifiers, but this is not the
case. We must try to understand
what went wrong and correct errors,
so that they do not re-occure, “
Austin Okocha said.
The former PSG and Fenerbahce star
has tipped Yaya Toure of Manchester
City to clinch the African Footballer of
the Year when the winner is
announced next month.
“Musa has his own qualities, but in
my opinion, Yaya Toure is the best
African player, he is on course to win
the title logically,” said Okocha.
