Former Super Eagles’ captain, Austin Okocha has reacted to Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Iceland in their Group D fixture at the 2018 World Cup.
Okocha speaking on Super Sports after the match said he was impressed with the Eagles performance during the second half.
“I was a bit nervous but the boys did very well in the second half, I was impressed.
“You have to earn the right to win. We totally deserved to win.”
Ahmed Musa scored both goals for the Super Eagles, as they claimed their first win at the tournament in Russia.
They will now face Argentina on Tuesday, hoping to book a place in the knockout rounds.
He,however, commended Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr for accepting criticisms, adding that it is difficult for coaches these days to accept criticisms.
“I think I am a little better now but I must commend Coach Gernot Rohr for accepting criticisms and changing tactics for this game.
“It is difficult for coaches these days to accept criticisms, as they always prefer to stick to their plans, but his change of tactics has granted Nigeria victory,” Okocha added.
