The former Bolton Wanderers captain said this to Ally McCoist and Gabriel Agbonlahor on their Talksport breakfast program. Okocha said via Complete Sports:

“Well, I think you can always put that into consideration, but I think they have a big squad. They must have done their homework, putting Africa Nations Cup into consideration.
