Former assistant coach of the Super Eagles and former goalkeeper trainer of the national team, Joe Erico(Jogobonito) has called on more new players to be introduced to the national team, but that they should come from the league.
Former Nigeria international and now assistant Coach of the U17 Boys national team, Nduka Ugbade says the culture of Black Africans makes their style of football synonymous to the Brazil school of thought.
Ugbade, however, argues that style is distinct from philosophy.
Speaking with brila.net ugbade insists the dancing and lively celebration that is common among Black Africans is well suited to the jogo bonito.
He also points out that style and methodology are not the same as philosophy in football, rather they are a subset of the latter.
