Former Nigeria international, Ifeanyi Udeze, has disagreed with former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh, over his recent comments on Victor Osimhen.
Oliseh had blamed Osimhen for Nigeria’s failure to win the 2025 AFCON tournament in Morocco.
The former Juventus midfielder claimed that the Galatasaray striker’s outburst with Super Eagles teammate Ademola Lookman affected the chemistry of the squad and also affected the Atalanta player psychologically.
But speaking on Brila FM, Udeze disagreed, insisting that Oliseh should have advised Osimhen because he is his younger brother.
“Osimhen is a younger player than Sunday Oliseh. Sunday should have used his channel to advise the Super Eagles striker regarding the discussion about him being the reason Nigeria didn’t win the AFCON,” Udeze said.
“I don’t think what happened between Osimhen and Lookman cost us the AFCON. I don’t think so.
“Victor Osimhen is your younger brother. You can also use your channel to speak to him; he’ll see it.”
