Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
Former Super Eagles international Mr Garba Lawal has slammed the current crop of Super Eagles for their lack of passion when playing for the national team.<\/p>\n
In a chat, Lawal said his set played like lions when they played for Nigeria.<\/p>\n
“During my time, we played as a team. You know we have players who you can call anytime and they will deliver. So you can see zeal in them, they fight like lions but I don’t see these in the current players.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know why this generation is different. It is only they that can tell us what the problem is. When I watch them play I don’t see that passion in them,” he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the new faces called up by the Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, Lawal said he was at liberty to bring up new players to fight for places.<\/p>\n
“Rohr can call up anybody he wants to call. We can’t question him. That’s what he is being paid for. The old players will give way sooner or later.<\/p>\n
“When you have plan ‘B’ in football, it’s always good. He is the manager and the only one that can assess them for the team,” he said.<\/p>\n
