In a bold statement reflecting the urgency of Nigeria’s football ambitions, Super Eagles head coach Finidi George has asserted that the national team must “fight back” and start winning games. His comments come amidst a period of inconsistent performances and growing pressure from fans and stakeholders who are eager to see Nigeria reclaim its place as a powerhouse in African and global football.
George emphasized that while the team possesses immense talent, translating this potential into consistent victories requires a renewed focus on resilience, strategic play, and unity on and off the pitch.
George’s call to action is seen as a pivotal moment for the Super Eagles, who have historically been a formidable force in international football but have struggled with consistency in recent years. He stressed the need for a tactical overhaul and a robust mental approach to overcome current challenges and achieve their goals.
As Nigeria prepares for upcoming fixtures, George’s rallying cry underscores the critical need for the team to harness their skills, bolster their teamwork, and develop a winning mentality to turn the tide and restore national pride in their footballing prowess.
Finidi George said: “We will see when the new season begins how we can get the best out of the players.
They have to show more commitment for us to start winning games. When we start winning, the fight is still on.”
Sounding defiant in the face of what appears like an uphill task for Nigeria to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, Finidi said, “We can’t throw in the towel because we have three points from four matches.
“We will have to win games, if we win games, the battle will still be there.
“We have to find a way to get these players back in a way they can perform.”
