SPECIAL INTERVIEW WITH super Eagles current coach #Austin

[Music] thank you uh welcome Nigeria and uh uh say congratulations to start with to coach Captain uh I go first uh okay let me not let me allow coach now let me talk to let me ask William at the beginning of this match did you expect a thre win good evening everyone um I think uh we prepared to win the game uh we respect Benin last time we played against them they uh they won the game uh but yeah like I said maybe only yesterday um that I have you know we have great belief in our team we have great believe in our coach um he's like a family member who's come back to us now and we knew we had to take the responsibility today um I think uh with the attacking talent that we have uh you know we don't have to name them but I think everybody knows uh how dangerous we are that if we play well well we um we try our best to uh to keep the door shut to the back we're going to create chances and we'll score so uh yeah I have a great belief that if we give the boys enough balls up front that they'll put them away and I think today was uh uh a good indication of uh of the direction that we want to head in and uh and the First Step uh of Mone that we have to take to be back at AFCO thank you right coach my I saw you starting L up and I first came to my mind said this is same team this is information we used at the last na cup and I think you just tilted it a bit to play this game tell me was that the mindset of the players before going to this game that coach you are more comfortable with this kind of formation to play you see formation is only information and um we have players with quality you can decide to play in any system this is something we discussed and I also observe I slept over it and I know you know with the caliber of players that we have we can decide to play any formation and be successful thank you uh okay my name Isn coach coming into this game with a series of poor results this result is this a moral booster going forward when you say poor results it doesn't sound right how many poor results you've not one in the last four matches well you know football you have three outcomes you win you lose you can draw but again I'm not going to say that the former crew wasn't doing a good job it has to do with believe one has to do with what's at stake you start with end in mind what you want to achieve and collectively psychologically we know as a group we we're in an agreement where we are now and where we want to be so won't go with that mindset definitely we definitely achieve it thank you okay okay Coach Abraham joseph5 last question for you sir um only one question please quickly quickly so you've come in as inter manager and then just the space of let's say a week since most Nigerian that you were taking charge after what we saw happen was with the former previous suspected manager how have you been able to just steady the shape all of a sudden from our recent uh lackluster results and now a 3n win with the clean sheets it speaks so high how you love to do that and then for William sorry please go yes yeah you know the players are always there and um you know when much is expected from Nigerians that's where we see performance people have been you know been getting a lot of backlash and then the boys didn't know it and we know we have the caliber and quality to be able to beat anyam but we respect teams anyway so anybody can come in and do the same job it's not a problem there the mindset we have the potentials it's how you you know check out your opponent and give information and then we will go out and do the job thank youly we only two more after this only two question for Coach congratulations with the result fantastic performance in the for uh what would you say about the combination defense with what what about the other Defenders back to well combination is always going to be there whoever comes in there is an understanding we've been training for one week and that is not new it was here and they have come in Cameron so you've worked with him before now and there's that Synergy whoever comes in we only give Specific Instructions just go out and display you have good eyes H I understand I understand I say you very good eyes but you see from beginning of of second half I've told six players to warm up we need the car was you know among them but we have to buy time you don't even you don't have to rush into changes cuz being a republic today they surprise is very good team I watched them against us in AB they were not as good as this so they came with a good game plan so today's performance for them was very okay and then um I knew at some point we're going to sub IND but somebody who coming in has to be properly warmed and prepared thank you final final question okay I'm Victor from football inter Africa so sir um do you have that's in most confidence that you might if they give you the Bon to lead the team to thank you sir Maxim changes in this fure what does it mean to your team you know um it's a game of 990 minutes and my stretch with other time so we must try to use every opportunity that we have so at some point in time when we recognize weaknesses in team in in opponent so that's the right time to bring you players thank you very much congratulations again coach and Captain and uh question two question no no good to um how do you feel about returning to SP and coming back and a win to match it today against no I'm I'm very happy for the team uh like I said from the start we have a feels like a family you know uh when we come together same the coach said we have so many options so many good players and um yeah as one of the older players now is my responsibility to make sure everybody settles in well and uh try to be an extension of the coach on the side of the pitch and uh today to get a win um is great I think it's something that we believed in I think we uh we had some doubts from uh from your side as always uh but I ask everyone to to stay behind the team to keep supporting us I think uh with your support we've shown that we do so well even just 6 months ago in in the afcon and uh yeah from what I see now and how I see the boys training and how I see the togetherness of the team um I just hope that everyone hope and pray on stage to support the team as they've been doing now and I think we'll continue to be on a good course thank you thank you than much good Lu conations thank [Music]
