Musa Calls for integration of homebased players into the Super Eagles

According to the 2013 AFCON winner, national team coaches should believe and have confidence in the local players.

“The coaches need to believe in them to showcase their best for the team,” Musa said.

“It’s fundamental to go back to our local league to get the best from the team.”

Recall that some NPFL players Sunday Mbah and Godfrey Oboabona played important roles in the Super Eagles’ successful Africa Cup of Nations campaign in South Africa where they won its third title.

In a related story, former Super Eagles Captain Sunday Oliseh has described Nigeria’s performance against Lesotho as a national embarrassment.
