Eguavoen Warns Chukwueze Over Dribbling Ahead Of Libya Clash

Super Eagles interim manager, Austin Eguavoen, has advised winger Samuel Chukwueze to be mindful of where he attempts to dribble ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Libya.

In his remarks ahead of Friday’s match, Eguavoen specifically addressed Chukwueze, urging the AC Milan star to make smart decisions on the field, particularly when it comes to dribbling.

“You can imagine Chukwueze coming to defence to help, he gets the ball, what does he do, not dribble,” Eguavoen told NFF TV.

“We know how good he is when he has to dribble but he should know where to dribble, he should know where not to dribble.

“If he comes in he has to do his defensive duty. It is a responsibility but he knows what to do, so these are things we go through every now and then.”
