Former Nigerian striker, Peter Ijeh has stated that the
bridge in between comparison of the present Super Eagles team and
the 1994 squad is the Afcon trophy. Ijeh made the
statement in a chat with www.Brila.net while
hailing the current players in the Super Eagles team who are
presently the third-ranked team in Africa and twenty-ninth in the
world FIFA ranking. Ijeh admonishes that the Rohr-led team is as
organized as the 1994 squad but stated that the only thing lacking
for them is to attain that feat of the Clement Westerhof-led team.
”Times may be different but football principles are the same,
Nigeria has to play more grade A friendlies, most of those
friendlies are on point as we know that, it has different continent
rankings.” ”The friendly games are very important for the eagles
not only for the rankings also for shaping the teams.”

to compare and contrast these present eagles and the 1994 sets ,
Nigeria still needs to win the African nations cup, that will give
a big boost for the ranking just as the 1994 set did that
gave them that flex.” ”They also have to play more grade games, not
only in the African continent but with top European teams and Asia
team, for example, those will give them good points to boost their
rankings in the world.”
