Former Nigerian international, Christian Chukwu has advised the Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro to have a mixture of players in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) and foreign based players in the senior national team if he wants to achieve positive result.

Chukwu made this known in an interview on Channels Sports Sunday, where he decried Peseiros failure to give the home based players the chance to prove their worth.

The 1980 Africa Cup of Nations winner also insisted that the Portuguese tactician should be made to live and work in Nigeria.

Our coach should come and stay with us in Nigeria. We have a lot of talents in Nigeria, in our local league and when you dont camp and train them and forget about this we have a match, we come on Thursday, they train on Friday, they play on Saturday and they disperse again. We dont have a team, Chukwu, who was nicknamed Chairman for his leadership qualities during his playing days, said.

Lets come back home, all those playing overseas are good players. They have the opportunities, we have those players back home who are equally good but they dont have that opportunity to go abroad and play and if you come here and discover them, let you be their manager and then expose them to the Europe people. We have players who are very good, better than the foreign-based players but they dont have the opportunity.

You have to come home and discover them and train them. I am not saying they should not be mixed with the foreign-based. Invite the foreign-based but give the home-based opportunity. They are the ones you can use to get anything you want to get.

As far as I am concerned we dont have a national team now because even our caches stay abroad, he comes with the players to come and play and travel again. He should come and reside here, let us work together, we are ready to help him with whatever he wants to achieve, Chukwu, who also coached the Super Eagles from 2003 to 2006 said.
