Coach of Nigeria’s U-23 side, Samson Siasia, has pleaded with fans not to expect too much from Taiwo Awoniyi.
The young striker was on fire, as the Golden Eaglets won the African Youth Championship, earlier this year in Senegal.
Siasia has drafted Awoniyi into his team, ahead of Sunday’s make-or-mar encounter against Zambia in Lusaka.
“The exercise is not about one person but about the team. Who knows what is going to happen? We are praying that he (Awoniyi) scores and other players too score. We are not going to depend on one player to deliver.
“It is a team sport. Nevertheless Awoniyi is doing very well and I am very happy about this.
“Hopefully, we can play as a team, get to score some goals and win the match and come back victorious.” .
