Sunday Oliseh, a former Super Eagles player and coach, has lamented the declining discipline and work ethic in modern Nigerian football. In an interview with ELEGBETETV & RADIO podcast, Oliseh expressed his dismay at the lack of punctuality and dedication among contemporary players.
Oliseh reminisced about the good old days, saying, "In our days, when you come late to camp, why would you play? These days, players come late to camp and they are starting the games." He emphasized the importance of discipline and punctuality, stating, "If camp opens by the weekend, by Monday, we are all in camp. You don't come on Wednesday and play."
Oliseh's comments highlight the stark contrast between the current generation of players and the older generation, who valued discipline and hard work. He believes that the lack of discipline and punctuality is a major factor in the decline of Nigerian football.
Oliseh's words serve as a wake-up call to the Nigerian football authorities and players, emphasizing the need to return to the values that made the Super Eagles a force to be reckoned with in African football. By adopting a more disciplined and professional approach, Nigerian football can regain its lost glory and compete favorably with the best in the world.
The 49-year-old comments are a timely reminder of the importance of discipline and punctuality in football. His words should inspire a new generation of players to embrace these values and work towards restoring Nigerian football to its former glory.
