Leon Balogun Talks On How Super Eagles Can Get Better by weIMPORT: 11:59am On Jul 09, 2018
Nigeria defender Leon Balogun has given hints on how the Super Eagles of Nigerian can get better after their unimpressive performance at the World Cup.

Leon Balogun admitted that he felt bad after the country’s ouster at the World Cup, following a 2-1 loss to Argentina in their last group match.

The Brighton Hove Albion of England summer signing however says the onus is now on him and the other players to recharge themselves and fire back stronger for the challenges ahead.

“It will be very important to keep going the way we have started. We have experienced players, young players, talented players – and there are even more players that are not in the team yet,” he said.

“We have to keep developing them and investing in their football education. We just have to keep working and keep our focus on advancing year after year and then in the next four years we will have a good team – maybe an even better one.”

The Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to qualify for the second round of the Russia 2018 World Cup after they failed to defeat Argentina in a match that obviously could have gone in their favour if certain tactical implementations had been applied

...ways we can get better
Removing Ighalo is a must, joel obi follows suit, let's try and make Onazi's exit a smooth transition cause even though he's not a great footballer, he has been dedicated to the team.
Someone should tell victor moses to be serious, we can't have him falling all over the pitch.
We need a fast and prolific striker in our team.
We need a very good left-footed ,left wing back in that team.
We need a very fast and tall defender like rudiger in this team.
We need the coach to establish iwobi as the no 10...he has a lot to offer in that position.
We need ebuehi as the constant right wing-back, with a little defensive training of course.
We need the coach to stop fidgeting in big matches and make necessary changes on time.

Feel free to add yours.

World Cup 2018: Belgium coach reveals his side’s game plan against France

Belgium head coach, Roberto Martinez has revealed his side’s game plan against France, ahead of their 2018 World Cup semi-final fixtures on Tuesday night.

According to Martinez, his side will need to stop Paris Saint-Germain star, Kylian Mbappe when they face the Les Blues at the St Petersburg Stadium.

The 44-year-old, however, admitted that his players will need to be at their best and play the Didier Deschamps’s men without fear. “The players have been working together extraordinarily well for many years, and they deserve to be exactly where they are today,” Martinez told ESPN FC.

“It’s a trip into the unknown. We’ve never been in such a situation, and that’s why we need our team spirit more than ever against France. We need to be the best version of ourselves. “Both teams have the right mix of youth and experience and also lots of individual talent.

“We will need to anticipate (Mbappe) and be well-positioned. We need to defend spaces more than the player himself. But we are not going to forget the others since France has a very complete attacking pattern.
“This group of players needs to play without fear to keep all of its options open. It’s like a voyage to the moon: We need to face it full of illusions.”

GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA MUST DEVELOP OUR LOCAL LEAGUE.

THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE SOLUTION TO OUR FOOTBALL SETBACKS HERE IN NIGERIA.

GOVERNMENT MUST ALSO ENCOURAGE OTHER SPORTS NOT ONLY SOCCER.

FOOTBALL ACADEMY, SPORTS ACADEMY MUST BE HEAVILY INVESTED UPON THROUGH GOVERNMENT/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

Our sports administrators, football administrators must not allow our local league to suffer.

The problem is that it is only when a footballer go to europe and make big name it is only then the player is recognized by the government in Nigeria and sports association.

The poor talented footballer in most of our community are not recognized and accepted

Mr Leon Balogun, the story is a very long one and if I go on talking I might not be able to exhaust all the problems facing our sports here in Nigeria.
