The former coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Sunday OlIseh has picked the two best players in the team at the moment and he surprisingly left out current Africa Player Of The Year Victor Osimhen.
In a no hold barred interview with Elegbete TV, Oliseh who also captained the team picked the best two players in the team at the moment while speaking on their performance at the AFCON and also for their respective teams.
Oliseh said the team presently has two players that he believe are the best in Ademola Lookman of Serie A side Atalanta and Victor Boniface of German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
Lookman who stole the show in the Europa League final with a hattrick to hand his side a 3-0 win has the attention of Finidi as well as Boniface, who was key to the unbeaten run of Bayer Leverkusen leading to the league and cup double.
*Coming to the Super Eagles there’s something I would like to add. There are two players that we have now in my opinion are the best players we have at the moment, looking at the past season,” Oliseh said on Elegbete TV.
“I’m looking at Lookman and one that might surprise you and I find him extraordinarily good. His name is Victor Boniface.
“I watch this guy every week because he’s playing just 45 minutes drive from my house at Leverkusen, so I had opportunity to watch him play so many times.
“He’s a player who can do it all. He’s a player that can play with his back to goal, he’s a player one on one you are in trouble, he’s a player that has pace, he is aerially strong and he carries the team with him.
“If he’s injured often, it is because the Bundesliga is one of the demanding leagues in the world, physically not only technically.
“When I see players like that, it makes me optimistic for the Super Eagles because you can build teams around those players.”
