Speaking to the media at the Meet The Trophy event of the UEFA Champions League held at Eko Hotel on Thursday, the former Borusia Dortmund and Ajax star admonished Nigerians, particularly the Nigerian press, not to underestimate the potential of the current Eagles squad.
He also stated that though the team won the Nations Cup last year, the Nigerians still have doubt over the ability of the team to do well at the World Cup.
Oliseh however urged the media to report positive information about the team, stating that he believes the Super Eagles will do well at the World Cup.
"The job will be made easier if they are aware that majority of Nigerians are behind them and are urging them on."
'We must stay positive in a bid to help our team surpass the past achievements," Oliseh said.
The Super Eagles are placed in Group F alongs with long standing nemesis, Argentina, Bosnia, and Iran. The team will begin their campaign against Iran before taking on Bosnia while Argentina will be their last opponents of the group stage.
The Super Eagles are yet to win a game at the event since the 1-0 win against Bulgaria in the 1998 World Cup in France.
