Sunday Oliseh’s criticism helped me improve, reveals Troost-Ekong

The defender has been consistent for the Super Eagles since his debut in 2015 and has credited his development to a challenge from Oliseh

William Trost-Ekong has revealed that former Nigeria manager Sunday Oliseh’s criticism helped him improve.

The Bursaspor defender has been a consistent performer at the heart of the Super Eagles defence since he made his debut for the side in 2015, forging a production partnership with German-born Leon Balogun.

On Monday, against DR Congo, in a pre-World Cup friendly, the former Gent player scored his first international goal, though the three-time African champions ended up sharing the spoils with their visitors.
