Former Nigerian international, Alloy Agu has expressed optimism on the chances of the Super Eagles winning the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that Nigeria have been grouped alongside hosts, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau in Group A.
With the team set to kickoff their campaign against Equatorial Guinea on January 14, Agu in a chat with Completesports.com stated that the Super Eagles have the players that will deliver the trophy come February 11.
“Well, having seen the final 25-man list released by Jose Peseiro, I want to believe that we have the players to conquer Africa all things been equal.

“Yes. we have other strong teams who will definitely give the Super Eagles a run for their money, but then, with the calibre of players in our disposal and commitment of the players, I think Nigeria can lift the trophy.
“It will be tough and as you know, if you want to be a champion, you must be ready to beat the best teams. I wish the team all the best in Ivory Coast.”

With the secondary school training they go do in Abu Dhabi.
@sportradio88.0 You mean the hotel staff they played against
Guinea is winning them 1:0 now
Animal coach playing Awaziem in the midfield when they ask him to invite more midfielders he is lying that NFF only wanted 25 players, NFF too says it’s a lie.
@Chima E Samuels, I do not think he is playing Awaziem in midfield.He is playing 3 at the back with omeruo, ekong and Awaziem. The formation is 343 , which means the full backs make up the 4 with the 2 midfielders. The 3 strikers with Sadiq, Simon and chukzy.
I’m streaming the match but CS is not allowing me to post link. I’m watching nonsense I feel like Vomiting yesterday’s friendly was against a park Friday eleven according to what a staff told my friend agent Drewuyi and people were here insulting monkey. I also suspected when I saw the scoreline before confirming it from the agent because he is also in Dubai hotel camp. They say the coach is too basic and old fashion primitive outdated easily predictable manual football. I never heard this one before but you can attest why we hardly Peseiro hardly win matches!!!!
I told someone that Peseiro is a fraud for using hired academy friendly to sway people yesterday. LMAO monkey post got you all on this.
I have to agree with monkey post on this one lmaoo…
Now it’s 2-0 wonders will never end and how’s legelege Umar a better player than Chuba or Dessers judging by how he shoots inconsistently one minute he does it well another minute he will shoot like he doesn’t have legs and miss Sitters.
This guy has to go. His stats are horrible if u look at the losses in comparison to wins and draws and the type of teams he has won in comparison to the types of teams he has lost and drawn to
I have never witnessed a successful dishonest coach. It takes honesty to do right thing and in football if you don’t do the right thing E.g having control of your team and selecting the right players to play a tactics you’ll fail. Peseiro is a liar and a liar can never be a Winner!!!
Nigeria trailing Guinea by 1 goal and struggling…..
Somebody who has been loosing all over the place must be doing something wrong. I remember when Falcons was playing badly that I almost went insane. Now it’s the SE having to deal with a criminal coach and FA sharing salaries. How disgusting!!!! EFCC is a fraud because if it was other confessions they see they’ll pounce. Our players should just remember Nigerians and play their hearts to defend our pride, especially those of us in diaspora because whenever we loose our hosting country makes it hard to contend with.
Nig 0 – Guinea 2…..let’s pray we fail at Afcon so Peseiro can get fired….If he struggles to the Semifinals which is his target he will stay on the job longer lol….. Let’s just forget this tournament….I don’t see hunger or zeal in this guys like the old national teams we had
These guys*
That has been my prayers, so the clueless coach can pack his bags and leave Nigeria. More so, former NFF president (Amoju Pinik) must be questioned by EEFCC, he brought Paseiro to Nigeria after he lied that it was Jose Morinho who introduced Paseiro to him,which Morinho later denied! EFF must also investigate who Paseiro has been given 20,000 dollars every month from his salaries, according to what Paseiro said.
Osetigo!!! Guinea 2 Nigeria 0.
The journey man has fraudulently milked like 2 years of salary before he is unto the next victim lol. Blame mango head Amaju.
It is because Peseiro is experimenting with a new formation and a largely experimental starting 11. Stanley Nwabili was poor. Uzoho would have done better.
Just wait for the tournament to start.
The man is making Rabbies sick foreigners to come and taunt us on this website and other places. This afcon may God have mercy on us with these yahoo team handlers!!!
God will punish amaju picnic.
President Batman should save Nigerians from this trap!!!
Shebi I’ve been saying it that nothing good cam come from Peseiro’s team. When I complained that he lacks technical ability to read the game @Glory attacked me. Well I’ll be quiet till after the AFCON. Someone who has been playing friendlies up and down and had all the time in the world to build his own team only for him to fail against minors in the WC qualifiers. I didn’t watch the game because I was sleeping but from what I’m reading here looks like we were terrible. Goodluck to the team
@ Deo, with all these poor results Peseiro is suffocating Nigeria with, I would advise you to keep your expectations low so that you don’t feel disappointed.
Nigeria as a country is facing “LEADERSHIP” Crisis. If we really have good leaders that listen to the people and willing to do the right things for the growth of the country, Peseiro will be gone by now.
Meanwhillie this complete AGBERO abi wetin be him name self? Nor be Agwu im call himself abi na Agu nii? Dis bobo still dey here dey tip glory Henh?…looooool!
