Onyeka’s Insight: “Our Secret Has Been Our Strikers”

Speaking during Friday’s training session ahead of the crucial quarter-final, Frank Onyeka — the Brentford star — pointed directly to the forwards as the driving force.

“Our secret has been our strikers, they are scoring goals so I think that’s what has helped us in the tournament,” Onyeka said.

The midfield maestro also praised the balance in the engine room, highlighting how teammates complement each other perfectly.

“We are ready. Alex (Iwobi) is doing Alex things, doing the passes, carrying the team forward, Wilfred (Ndidi) holding the midfield and me I’m doing what I do best.”
