It’s time you people make an article for change in our football because what is happening to Nigeria football is Chaos and never seen. Every national team is messing up and yet you guys keep hailing Eguavoen day and night. Nigeria football need a new direction Eguavoen should be replaced now!!!
Bros wake up o… It’s 2023 why are you still living in the 90’s
The problem of this loss was from coaching and tactics. Ladan Bosso’s tactics were competely wrong. The transition from defence to attack was non existence , the midfielders lost the battle in the middle and the attackers were stranded. All i could see were long balls over the midfield that conceeded posession to the senagalese.
I was shocked at that tactic it was useless.
I hate it when headlines read “slim defeat”. We should not color failure. For me, we need to stop recycling coaches. Even if you performed in a tournament, let another take your place so that they can aspire to even beat your levels. Just as we clamor for players to be dropped, let coaches get to have such experience so that they can also see their positions as a privilege and let the nation beg to have them.
The nation will be exposed to several styles of play and many stars will be birthed.
