We are not street kids fires Siasia,
backs boycott of Olympics q/final.
Nigeria Olympic team coach Samson
Siasia has lashed out at how
disrespectful the authorities have
been to his team, saying he will no
support the boys should they insist
on boycotting Saturday’s
quarterfinal against Denmark.
Siasia’s scathing comments on
national radio Friday confirmed
AfricanFootball.com super exclusive
of the previous day on the latest
crisis that has engulfed his team in
Brazil.
“We have been disrespected from all
angles –the sports ministry, the
Nigeria Football Federation. Is that
how you will treat your own
children? We are not street kids,”
former Super Eagles coach Siasia
fired away on Brila FM sports radio
Friday morning.
“We have only been paid allowances
for 11 days. There is no match
bonus. What of all the months we
have been training in Nigeria and
Atlanta? That’s not fair.
“I have not received my salary for
the past five months.
“Everything is upside down and the
boys don’t want to play anymore.
Whatever they want to do, I’m with
them. They are right for fighting
for their rights.”
Siasia continued: “The country
already has a bad image, but through
football it has got some good image
but still they won’t let us play.
“I have begged these boys, but I
cannot do more than what I have don
to get this team up to this point.
“I have done my best and now I am
tired.”
Siasia also put a lie to an officia
statement by the NFF that there was
no order for kits to be returned to
Nigeria after the Rio Olympics.
As usual, the NFF were quick to
dismiss a media report that the NFF
secretariat ordered that kits be
returned to the office from Rio.
But Siasia told Brila FM:”The NFF
ordered that they bring back the
jerseys (from Brazil). Siji Lagunju
(of the NFF technical department)
was directed to bring the jerseys
back to the NFF.”
