Ex-Nigerian International, Celestine Babayaro, has urged the Super Eagles to imbibe team spirit and dedication to win the 2023 AFCON trophy. 

Mr Babayaro made the call in an interview with journalists on Wednesday, while reacting to the Eagle’s 4-2 victory against South Africa to qualify for the final.

Eagles defeated Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a penalty shootout, after a 1-1 draw of the 120 minutes of play, including extra time.

According to him, only dedication and playing well can help the team win the tournament.

“I really like their mode of play as they show skills and energy during the last two matches, but the team need more dedication and one spirit to win the final match.

“They need to follow the coach’s instructions, add psychology and exhibit more skillful tactics as a team to win the AFCON glory.

“The game was impressive I must confess and I hope the glory is coming to Nigeria,” he said.

Nigeria beat South Africa 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

The Super Eagles will play the winner of the Cote d’Ivoire versus DR Congo in the final of the tournament.
