As they prepare for a World Cup last-16 showdown, Randy Waldrum is urging Nigeria to back their players in the future
Beat England on Monday in their last-16 meeting and Nigeria’s manager, Randy Waldrum, will add a transformational moment to the number of key ones already emblazoned in his mind from his team’s World Cup campaign. However, the biggest takeaway – no matter how good a win against the European champions would be – will still not be an in-game moment but instead the time spent working with the players who have battled so hard to make their mark.
“The penalty against Canada, big moment, Chiamaka [Nnadozie] makes that save, huge moment from [Uchenna] Kanu to get a goal back against Australia right before the [end of the first] half, it changed everything for us,” he says.
