Former Super Eagles coah, Akinade Onigbinde, on Monday said that today’s football, name of player or country does not matter. Onigbinde told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Abuja, stating that gone are the days where big names decide victory in matches.
He also pointed out that countries like Argentina with big names like Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero etc., had been defeated by lowly-rated countries in the ongoing World Cup. He said, “Football is fast going to a level where big players or nations are even struggling to win a match. Unlike before, countries with big players used to cow others, but today almost every nation is good.,”
