Amokachi twins. |
According to VanguardSports, Amokachi said his boys had turned down the opportunity to be capped by
Tunisia, adding that the twins playing for the Super Eagles would be his dream
and that of the boys’ mother.
“Definitely, that would be
my dream, their mother’s dream, even their dream because their heart is with
Nigeria,” he said.
He maintained that he remains
hopeful that call would come up for his twins soon to play for Nigeria, after all, he himself has remained Super Eagles’ number one fan, he said.
“I still have that
patriotic zeal running in my veins like in the days I played for Nigeria,” Amokachi,
fondly called “D Bull” in his active days said.
Furthermore, the USA ’94,
France ’98 and Korea-Japan 2002 World Cup star said he hoped to see his twin
sons follow the path he has threaded, by playing for Nigeria, as they hope to.
As for their current
career, he disclosed that they were doing well in their present club in Turkey.
“They are doing pretty
well in Besiktas, they are with the U23 team, and we are trying to see if they
can play the professional angle of it because, in Turkey, they leave the
foreign slot for professionals. Right now, however, they are working very hard
and we hope that soon, they will get the opportunity to play in a place where
they can give a good account of themselves,” Amokachi said.
He used the occasion to pray
for the Super Eagles players who have already qualified for Russia 2018, wishing
that the entire squad would remain injury free in order to find themselves in
good form before the tournament.
