Nigeria clubs should raise their standard, this humiliation is no longer funny, increase players welfare and up grade ur level of training, training, the players are talented, the coaches need to work them harder, and also dare the European stile of play in terms of directness and precision, the europeans are not playing football with four legs, or golden golden ball, a Nigerian professional footballer should be able to make quick and precise passes and as well shoot right, if not the coaches should be working more on them individually in terms of teknik and footwork, they are not too old to learn.
The coaches are terrible. Imagine the head of Nigeria coaches organization is Ladan Bosso, who knows nothing and always fails yet he keeps getting deals. It is crazy this very man too called Osho Eyimba’s coach was talking plenty just two days ago and i knew this was just an empty talk. Now you’ll hear them spitting nonsense that they will do the impossible and score three unreplied goals in Aba, only to end up playing draw or winning by a slim goal margin.
It is a shame that all the big companies in the country boasting from Jan to December, none can sponsor a local side for straight 10years to keep the countries flag flying high at the caf club competitions. The disgrace is just too much i couldn’t believe my eyes that because a team is away then you can not make 3 simple passes.
The officiating too is very strange and not helping the already confused Nigerian side after scoring first went for shoot anywhere belle face. Who do us?
How to put 3 goals into pyramid net is a task that muse be down
Nzogbu nzogbu.. kpiakukiaisi… Totally disappointed with how this Enyimba team is being coached. Again John Noble has no place in SE team. He just need to go sit himself down and reflect on his performances to fashion out how to improve his game. Enyimba ala our local clubsides are painfully let us down.
