(Photo Evidence) Nigeria Magician Offers Advice To Watford Striker Ighalo
Published: November 11, 2016
Former Bolton Wanderers and Hull City attacking midfielder Austin Jay-Jay Okocha was among the few spectators that witnessed the Super Eagles training session at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium on Thursday afternoon.
As ordered by the Nigeria Football Federation, the penultimate workout was supposed to be a closed door affair but the former Super Eagles captain was allowed entrance into the stadium so he can give a pep talk to the team and fraternize with the players.
After the training session, Okocha met with one of the players expected to be given a run out by manager Rohr in the shape of Watford striker Odion Ighalo.
The national team will have their final training session in the coming hours before the face off against the Algerians on Saturday.
