The Super Eagles under new coach Finidi George will be going for goals, according to the team’s assistant coach Benjamin James.
Hoffenheim U19 coach Benjamin James revealed that the motto of the Super Eagles under Finidi is – goals are the beauty of the game.
The former Shooting Stars and Stores defender, who grew up in Ajegunle, also commented on two of the country’s top strikers – Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface.
“Osimhen is a finisher, he smells goals, while Boniface can create and finish, he’s good on one-on-one,” he remarked.
“We have strikers with different characteristics.”
James said the main target for the Super Eagles is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
“We did not go to the last World Cup, so the business is to qualify for the next one,” he stated.
