Former Super Eagles Forward, Daniel Amokachi has recalled an outburst that ensued between Samson Siasia and Sunday Oliseh prior to Nigeria’s second round clash against Italy at the USA ’94 World Cup.
Nigeria went on to lose 2 – 1 to the Azzurris courtesy of two late strikes from substitute Roberto Baggio.
Amokachi who spoke on the backdrop of the reported clash between Chelsea duo, Antonio Rudiger and Kepa Arizabalaga at their training ground in the wake of their 5-2 home defeat to relegation-bound West Brom said it was not a strange occurrence to witness such altercations among players.
Recalling a similar situation in the Super Eagles, Amokachi described how his teammates, Samson Siasia and Sunday Oliseh had a bust up before the game against Italy.
“I remember in 1994, prior to our match against Italy, Siasia and Oliseh went physical on the pitch in the training ground,” the former Forward said. “Everybody was tensed and it flared up.”
“We always see situations like that; it happened when I was in Club Brugge, in Ranchers (Bees), in Besiktas and Everton. It happens everywhere because we’re just being humans.”
