After the 1996 Olympics, the Manchester City Club Magazine returned in full swing:
'We extend our warmest congratulations to Augustine Azuka Okocha, who played a starring role in Nigeria's historic Olympic gold medal win in Atlanta this summer. Jay-Jay dazzled on the world stage with his flair, vision, and creativity, helping the Super Eagles defeat both Brazil and Argentina en route to their triumph.'
"It's a proud moment for Nigerian football," Okocha said upon returning to the club. "Now I'm ready to give everything for the team."
The same admiration goes to Javier Zanetti, who represented Argentina with distinction at the Olympic Games and earned a silver medal after a hard-fought final.
Zanetti, ever the professional, played every match with his trademark composure and relentless work ethic. He has now rejoined the squad and is fully focused on the challenges ahead.
"Wearing the Argentina shirt is always special. But I'm back, and I'm ready," said Zanetti.
