NIGERIA AND SPAIN: Casualties Of Their Status - Sports. by Nobody: 9:43pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
The true test of success lies in one's ability to always stay at the top. Football is a game that requires result (winning), anything short spells doom! But lets think about it the other way round. If Spain as the reigning European champion could lose 2-1 to lowly rated Slovakia yesterday, Nigeria as the incumbent African champion losing 1-0 to Sudan shouldn't be seen as the end of the road for the team and its leadership. I know many Nigerians may say "its time for Keshi to quit" but for me thats not the case. Our recent predicaments is a direct consequence of our status as champions and our inability at the moment to live up to that expectation just like Spain. Once you are the champion, teams learn to park the bus when they play against you and you find it dificult to penetrate and breakdown the opposition defence. Thats what is happening to Nigeria and Spain at the moment. What the Super Eagles need now is suport, improved playing style, commitment and detailed tactical analysis/ aproach to twart the oppositions. IT IS NOT YET TIME TO CALL FOR CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP. |

Even the German squad (world champions) lost 2-0 to Poland today. Who could have predicted that? |

WEICON:there is a huge difference between German/Spain and Nigeria.German and Spain were only unlucky but Nigeria didn't play football at all. There was no any game plan or tactics in all our matches. Keshi is completely inept at coaching. |
