Former Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins has expressed concern over the current state of Nigeria's national team, citing a lack of unity and teamwork as a major issue.
In an exclusive interview with Football Fans Tribe, the 40-year-old compared the present team to the one during his playing era, stating, “At that time, we had a team, but now, the team is not actually there.” He acknowledged the presence of talented individuals like Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman but emphasized that their efforts are ineffective without a cohesive unit.
Martins, who netted 18 goals in 42 appearances for Nigeria, stressed that football is a team sport and individual brilliance alone cannot guarantee success. “The names are there, but the team is not there,” he said, underlining that even Osimhen’s goals would mean little without overall team synergy.
His comments reflect growing concerns among fans and analysts about the Super Eagles’ performances and chemistry on the pitch.
