Alloy Agu recalls losing a tooth in Nigeria’s 1990 AFCON qualifier against Ghana as one of his greatest sacrifices for the Super Eagles. He says the pain fueled the team’s journey to the Algeria finals. He lauds coach Éric Sékou Chelle’s decision to attend NPFL matches, saying domestic scouting mirrors the successful approach of the Westerhof era. Agu believes this boosts motivation for home-based players. On the U23 Eagles job, he names Daniel Amokachi and Samson Siasia as top candidates and urges the NFF to appoint one promptly. He also praises the competitive NPFL title race and sees the upcoming Four-Nation Unity Cup as vital AFCON preparation.
