According to the 59-year-old, the poor quality of players has been responsible for the draw back the team has been experiencing in recent times.

Amiesimaka, who was a member of the victorious Green Eagles squad that won the 1980 AFCON in Lagos, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Wednesday March 30.

“Sometimes one just gets bored you know talking about same thing; I have never seen any people as indulgent in wishful thinking as Nigerians.

“We just don’t have the players; we don’t have the players; look at them individually; look at the quality; compare them to what we see every week in the (English) Premier League.

“Compare (them) to what we see every week in La Liga; compare (them) to what we see every week in the Bundesliga; compare (them) to what we see every week in the South American league.

“We just don’t have the quality expected; and if you like bring Alex Ferguson, bring Mourinho, bring Capello – still zero.

“We don’t have the quality and I’m not surprised we did not win.

“Even if we had won this game from an objective analysis of it, you cannot be inspired, you cannot be inspired by it.”

However, after condemning the Super Eagles of Nigeria to a second consecutive AFCON miss, Pharaohs of Egypt coach Hector Cuper has praised the Nigerian team for pulling a good fight.
