He also commended the Super Eagles performance in their last friendly match against Ukraine which ended 2-2 at the Dnipro Arena, Ukraine.

“The last friendly [against Ukraine] was fantastic. The team looked new to me and I must commend their performance. And that of Brazil slated for October is also a good top friendly and it is good to try other players,” the man who captained Nigeria’s Dream Team I to win the gold at Atlanta ’96 Olympics said.
