VICTORY OR NOTHING: Five Things Super Eagles Must Do To Beat Iceland June 21, 2018 11:00 pm Ahead of Super Eagles’ crucial Russia 2018 World Cup clash against Iceland at the Volgograd Arena on Friday, Completesportsnigeria.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU recommends five things the team must do to beat the World Cup debutants… ROHR SHOULD TINKER WITH HIS FORMATION The Super Eagles seem more accustomed to a play a 3-5-2 formation than 4-3-3 these days and it showed in their last two friendlies against England and Czech Republic. Even though they lost both matches, they team played better when the coach switched to 3-5-2 from the less effective 4-3-3. Handler of the team, Gernot Rohr, should seriously think of going for a 3-5-2 against Iceland and also use the right personnel. SOLVE THE MIKEL CONUNDRUM Former Super Eagles captain Austin Jay Jay Okocha and one-time Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho, who handed Mikel Obi his debut at Stamford Bridge, both criticised the decision to play him in a more attacking role rather than a deeper position in the defeat to Croatia. Mikel was poor in that role and it was one of the reasons the Super Eagles failed to gel in the game. He lacked the pace to press opponents up field and affect the game positively. The fact is Mikel is more accustomed to playing as a deep lying midfielder, a position he has played since the start of his career at Chelsea, although to be fair to Rohr Mikel has played an attacking role for two years under him. However, playing Mikel in the deeper position will get the best out of him and rub off positively on the team as well. SUPER EAGLES MUST SHOW MORE URGENCY One of the key flaws noted in the Super Eagles’ 2-0 loss to Croatia was their lack of urgency. The team did not show enough desire to win the game and it reflected in their overall performance. They kept passing the ball backwards and did not threaten the Croatia defence for almost the entire game. Against Iceland, they will need to show a lot of grit and determination to win the game. DEFEND SET PIECES BETTER With Iceland having taller players compared to England, Czech Republic and Croatia who have scored goals against the Super Eagles from set-pieces in their last three games, then the entire team must find a way of stopping Heimir Hallgrimsson’s men from wreaking havoc from such situations. ROHR SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO MAKE BIG CALLS Quite a number of the players failed to make much impact against Croatia with obvious good options on the bench. The likes of Shehu Abdullahi, Wilfred Ndidi, Mikel Obi, Alex Iwobi and Odion Ighalo were poor all through. To get a positive result against Iceland, Gernot Rohr must not hesitate to drop any of them and bring in good replacements. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/victory-or-nothing-five-things-super-eagles-must-do-to-beat-iceland/ |

Kingsley1000:Does Messi know what it feels like to win the Champions league back to back to back? Does he? Ronaldo's balloon do'r in 2013 was deserved. If you think not, I can tell you Messi's 2010 balon do'r was stolen from Diego Milito whose performance was better than Ribery's 2013 performance. Argue with your cap. It's now you guys are using the "surrounded by crappie team mates" excuse for Messi and forgetting that Messi's greatest and peak performances happened when he was in the midst of great players in their peak (David Villa, Xavi & Iniesta both were good dribblers and master passers, Puyol, Dani Alves, Pedro, Samuel Etoo in 2009, Henry in 2009 & 2010, Neymar, Suarez). Yet in those his peak performances, you guys hailed him as the best therefore I shall hail my Ronaldo. Even though Ronaldo was surrounded by good players, his goal scoring records were vital to Madrid's success without those records, Madrid would be nowhere. Through out the back to back to back, he alone came to the party to rescue his team mates eg. Against wolfsburg, Bayern, altectico, etc. when needed the most. Back then when Ronaldo was underperforming and we were saying that he was surrounded by average players whereas Messi was surrounded by great players, did you people listen? Abegi Park well.
