Oliseh pleads for understanding, support for Super Eagles
Former captain of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh has pleaded for understanding in the wake of misconceptions on his alleged criticism of the national team.
In a statement he posted on the social media, Oliseh said he was deeply saddened by the twisting of his analysis of the Süper Eagles performance against Tanzania.
"For nearly 40 years, I have dedicated my life and career to the progress of Nigerian football. While my professional duty requires impartiality and objective critique, my heart remains firmly with the players and Coach Eric Chelle.
"Constructive honesty is not a sign of dislike; it is a tool for improvement born out of a desire to see our nation succeed.
"Just recently, I was accused of being 'too supportive' of the coaching staff. To now be accused of the opposite suggests a misunderstanding of my role as an analyst. My loyalty to the Green and White is unwavering and requires no defense," he said.
The former coach urged Nigerians to discard the"past distractions and unite in our support for the players."
