Taiwo fears Eagles’ AFCON crash
Super Eagles defender, Taye Taiwo, has warned that the team will fail at next year’s Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa if the players do not play together.
“If we can’t play as a team, work for each other, we can’t win anything in South Africa.
“We must sacrifice for each other and then we stand a good chance of winning the competition,” MTNFootball.com quoted the former Olympique Marseille defender as saying in an interview on Wednesday.
The Eagles, who had won the AFCON twice, will play in Group C alongside the defending champions Zambia, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia.
Taiwo also said he would be delighted to return to the Super Eagles in time for the AFCON.
The Dynamo Kiev wing back has not been considered by Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi since a shambolic performance against Rwanda in Kigali in February.
However, there are now strong indications Keshi will give him another chance with the Eagles and Taiwo said he would be delighted to take it.
