Former captain of the Nigeria national team, Sunday Oliseh, has warned Eric Chelle’s men ahead of their Round of 16 clash against Mozambique at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
According to Oliseh, the knockouts will be a different kettle of fish from the group stages, starting with the Round of 16.
The Super Eagles won all their three group fixtures – the only team to achieve the feat.
By the end of the group stages, Eric Chelle’s men scored eight goals and conceded four.
“We’re starting the round of 16. What changes here now is that if you lose, you go home,” Oliseh said on his podcast.
“It is no longer important how beautiful you play; what matters is the result, and that is why the Super Eagles have to make sure their priority is not conceding.”
