“Well I’m glad to be back representing Nigeria after two years,” Success told CSN.
“It’s good to see my friends as well. For me, I don’t think it’s my performance for Watford that earned me a recall back because I think we have other talented players in Europe even greater than me”
“For me, mistakes of two years ago are in the past and they have been corrected already”he added
“I’m back to shape better than before. I’m just here to do what I have to do, and we will see where we go from here.” he said.
