Ex Nigeria international, Joseph Yobohas beckoned on players undergoing trials in the national U-23 camp to imbibe the spirit of commitment and hard work towards making the Dream Team squad as well as excelling in their football career.
The former Everton defender who visited the screening venue on Thursday expressed his delight watching them play while insisting there was still room for improvement.
"I was like one of you guys. It was nice coming to watch you play, though this is a training session, Yobo told the players.
"The coach is like a brother, a good friend. When he saw me and asked me to come, I just can’t say no. I started just like you, if not worse,”
"I just want to encourage you. I’m happy with what I’m seeing; there is still room for improvement in your career, just believe in yourself, believe in your coach, and believe in your teammate.
"It’s not a do or die affair, it has to be team work. Even if I knew there was competitions amongst you, you have to keep it friendly, but most importantly you have to believe in God.
"You have great talent; I have seen most of you now. I believe in this team especially in your coach; you guys are privileged.
"This team is privileged to have one of the best African coaches taking care of them, so you have to listen to him. You have to work very hard. If you work hard and you don’t listen to him it won’t work,” he concluded.
