We Don’t Have A Team, Peseiro Should Live In Nigeria – Chukwu

Christian Chukwu, the Nigerian football legend and former national team captain, expressed his concern about the present state of the Super Eagles, stating that the country currently lacks a cohesive team.

During his appearance on Channels Sports Sunday, Chukwu emphasized the importance of Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro being located in Nigeria.

He suggested that a local presence would enable the coach to identify and incorporate local football talents to complement the foreign-based players in the team.

“Our coach should come and stay with us in Nigeria. We have a lot of talents in Nigeria, in our local league and when you don’t camp and train them and forget about this we have a match, we come on Thursday, they train on Friday, they play on Saturday and they disperse again. We don’t have a team,” Chukwu, who was nicknamed Chairman for his leadership qualities during his playing days, said.

“Let’s come back home, all those playing overseas are good players. They have the opportunities, we have those players back home who are equally good but they don’t have that opportunity to go abroad and play and if you come here and discover them, let you be their manager and then expose them to the Europe people. We have players who are very good, better than the foreign-based players but they don’t have the opportunity.

“You have to come home and discover them and train them. I am not saying they should not be mixed with the foreign-based. Invite the foreign-based but give the home-based opportunity. They are the ones you can use to get anything you want to get.

“As far as I am concerned we don’t have a national team now because even our caches stay abroad, he comes with the players to come and play and travel again. He should come and reside here, let us work together, we are ready to help him with whatever he wants to achieve,” Chukwu, who also coached the Super Eagles from 2003 to 2006 said.
