This German team is very good... One of the best in the competition so far. The got a frightening efficiency of which the eagles are found wanting.
Their pass completion rate so far is impeccable (My assumption on their games so far NOT opta stats)
An impressive defense line
But something HUGE is missing in the German team.... .
Talk about it after Hungary is in the bag |

Birikiti: Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba is sticking with the adage that you don’t change a winning team.
Based on the Nigeria Under 20s last training session before the crucial clash against Hungary on Sunday morning, allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Manu Garba will start the game with the same starting XI that beat North Korea hands down.
It means there is no place in the line-up for Granada striker Isaac Success, Gent’s Moses Simon, Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho and Tottenham Hotspur trainee Musa Yahaya.
MFM shot - stopper Joshua Enaholo will be in between the pipes while Mohammed, Bello, Ndidi and Mustapha will line up in defense.
Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Kingsley Sokari and Akinjide Idowu are the midfielders that will start against the Europeans.
Taiwo Awoniyi is joined in attack by Saviour Godwin and Bernard Bulbwa.
Nigeria U20s Starting Lineup : Enaholo ; Musa Mohammed, Mustapha, Ndidi, Bello; Ifeanyi, Sokari, Idowu; Bulbwa, Awoniyi and Saviour.

Why change a winning team right? I have my reservations... Anyway #Manuknowbest |

There is the principle of '' peak'' in football.. It either work for your advantage or against you. Good physios train their teams with this principle in mind. |

Just read comments here and I.... SMH.. .. For your info... The eagles will play for a win against Hungary... Play for a draw to avoid Germany  Isn't that match fixing  The rhythm must be sustained... A CONVINCING win against Hungary capped with a clean sheet is the best thing the eagles need right now. It is foolish to start thinking of Germany now... Everything should be done to get a win against Hungary.... Anything short of a convincing win?.. . I will be disappointed. Food for thought... How about if the Hungarian team bench all their key players and play to lose just so they avoid Germany too.. |

gbosaa: The third man in the mid field need to complement his hard work otherwise same thing would happen assuming North Korea is a decent team. In super 6 and AYC, they all worked hard for each other. There was balance, cohesion and very good link with the forwards. Nwobodo provided that. Like idowu, he worked hard, scored goal, won balls, tackled hard, returned when they were under pressure to cover the back four, he also supplied killer passes like when they played Ivory Coast, remember his pass to Pyagbara.
There was no donkey or baboon in the mid field. Against Brazil, iheanacho was given a free role while Ifeanyi the work horse was sacrificed. The result, iheanacho didn't defend well. Messed up his passes which were easily intercepted by the Brazilians. Sometimes he floats the ball into empty space which neither Awo nor success could reach and when under attack, he didn't provide the missing synergy witnessed in AYC and Super 6.
If Idowu comes in, work his a..rse off but some thing happens, he would be frustrated and end up over working, exhausting himself and even getting injury. That match was very tensive and they should have defended as a core unit instead delegating that to one or two particular individuals. Guy... You know the game... Kudos.. All the midfielders got to work hard.... They all got to work at winning the ball... With the way the midfielders played against brazil-poor positioning, poor pass accuracy?. . Smh... Idowu would have been clueless like his team..... To the guys shouting Idowu... Take it or leave it, the eagles would have a better outing against Korea and others because of better midfield cohesion and the ability of the wingers to be selfless in convering for the wing back... Idowu is good. ifeanyi is also good.. They are both hard workers.. If Idowu is played good! But if not, no need creating all these fuss about it... What happened against brazil was a '' system failure''... The whole team switched off.. . If the defense was alert and sturdy like a wall anaholo would not have conceded those late goals on the other hand, If anaholo was fully alert--of which he admitted he lost concentration-with the same defense he wouldn't have conceded especially those two cheap goals... Similarly if the wingers did fall back when the team lose the ball they wouldnt have put the wing back under immerse pressure and if the midfielders had learnt to keep possession by spraying accurate passes and avoided cheaply giving the opposition the ball, the whole team would not have felt overwhelmed... So guys.. . Wish for a better team play against korea and hope the players learn to play for each other and be selfless.... The lack of Idowu wasn't why naija lost to brazil... That very team that played brazil could have won had they be more disciplined and done the basics of team football.... These are my humble submission |

joseph1013: [b][size=14pt]Nigeria: Obuh Advises Manu to Make Changes Against Korea[/size]
https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2015/06/Samm_2_June_4.jpg
As reactions continue to trail the Flying Eagles 2-4 loss to Brazil at the ongoing FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand, former coach of the team, John Obuh has advised Manu Garba to make some changes in the team that will face Korea on Thursday.
Speaking to Daily Trust yesterday, Obuh who led the Flying Eagles to two World Cups in 2011 and 2013, said having seen the performance of the players in the first game, the coach should make the necessary changes in the team that will play against Korea.
He said most times players who are on the bench come forward to deliver the good, so Coach Garba should not be afraid to introduce some of the players who did not play against Brazil.
Speaking from experience, Obuh said anytime he does not get the kind of result he expects in an opening match, he tinkers with his team so Manu should do the same thing.
"What I will advise our people to do is to look at the team again. In a tournament the players who start are not necessarily the best. He has his team but he should look at it again and make the necessary changes.
"He should look at the players who were on the bench. There may be some certain players on the same level but some have to start so now that he has played the first game and it did not come out very well, he has to look at the team. He should look at the players he believes are good for the second game.
"Those who did not measure up in the opening match should drop to the bench. That's what I do. When I go for a tournament and I play my first game and don't see what I want, I make changes in the second game. He should not hesitate to bench any player," he said.
He also blamed Flying Eagles defeat against Brazil on complacency.
Obuh said had they sustained the first half performance, they would have gotten a better result against the South Americans.[/b] Obuh... I would reply you after the Korea game |
