Former Nigerian international Alloy Agu believes the Home Based Eagles still have a chance of qualifying from the group despite losing 1-0 to Senegal in the opening fixture of the 2024 TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN).
A Christian Gomis ’75th-minute strike was enough to give Senegal the maximum points.
Speaking after the game, Agu told Completesports.com that the team will get better as the competition progresses.

“I believe the home-based Eagles tried their best to at least avoid defeat against Senegal, but it’s unfortunate that the team lost to a solitary goal.
“This is just the first game, and they have the second group game to make amends and bounce back to winning ways.
“I am still optimistic the team will qualify from their group.”

Great Goalie Agu, patronizing this boys called home eagles will not help their careers. What am i saying , they do not have one playing the way i saw the. after watching them , i need to see an optician. My TV is bad and someone needs to sue DSTV for showing this match without a viewer discretion notice. honestly, the problem with this team is that they do not know the ABC of football. passes zero, trapping of ball zero, football intelligence of use of space, communication, even to decide to press forwar or not,. Abysmal. if they qualify from this group, they will be doing Nigeria a great disservice because this team has a destiny with a 6-0 drubbing with a good team
This clearly shows were are league stands.. When people advocate for Nigerian coach on the basis of winning Nigerian league I just laugh..Do we even have a league? The players do not possess any football IQ.No intelligent run, the goalkeepers do not have the basic keeper training, because our players do not go through academies just sled development, they lack that basics, the pitches are criminal and finally pay is nonsensical..
