Alex Iwobi: Super Eagles star models new Everton home kit
After escaping relegation, Alex Iwobi shows off the new Everton home kit for the 2023-24 season.
The Super Eagles Legend told Pulse Sports, “It is only when you get to Cote d'Ivoire, when you qualify, knowing the group that you belong to, then you can say OK you want to win the AFCON.
“Winning the AFCON is not just by merely saying, it takes a whole series of plans and content.
“When I talk about content, you come up as a coach, you talk about winning the AFCON, you have to ask from a political point of view, what and what do I need to win the AFCON, who are those that I can count on in terms of the players, in terms of materials, in terms of human investment, so there are a whole lot of things to come on board for you to win the AFCON.
“I think the team are doing their best, they are trying to pick a ticket, but of course in football, there is always room for improvement. You can not say because today you are good, that means that's the end, NO.
“You have to be open to learning, you have to be open in terms of having the desire to achieve something. You have to be open to sacrifice, bearing in mind that nothing comes easy.
“Although Nigeria is a country with passion and people in Nigeria are passionate when it comes to football, so if we can remain focused and be honest to ourselves, I think we have players that can achieve that.”

Amuneke told Pulse Sport that the Super Eagles are doing the right thing by being on track which could help them win next year's AFCON tournament.
