Despite the no love lost relationship
between Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung
and bronze-wining U-23 Olympic football
coach, Samson Siasia, the coach has said
that he was yet to come to terms with the
tantrums of the Minister before the
Games that just ended in Rio.
Siasia-Dalung
“The whole thing surprised me”, Siasia
said in Johannesburg while on a stopover
to connect the final leg of the flight from
São Paulo to Johannesburg and to Lagos.
Siasia drew the ire of the Minister when
he complained about the hardship his
team faced while preparing for the
Olympics.
The Minister denied knowledge of the
team’s whereabouts but also ridiculed the
coaches that they could be engaged in
human trafficking. The drama did not stop
there as it snowballed into an
international embarrassment as the team
could not be airlifted to Rio until a few
hours to its opening game against Japan.
“As we speak, I don’t know what I have
done to offend the Minister. The whole
thing is surprising”, Sia One, as he is
fondly called said.
The coach however added that it was
funny that when he met the Minister one
on one after a string of good results, the
man did not recognize him.
“It’s funny. When he came, he shook
hands with us and after shaking the
players, he asked where is the coach?.
Everybody started laughing. We shook
hands again and hugged”, Siasia said.
He noted that his team could have done
better if the environment before the
Games was conducive for them. “The
environment before the Games was not
good but we resolved to weather the
storm. The players gave their best.
Without necessarily singling out players,
Mikel was outstanding. He not only played
well, he also motivated the squad with his
leadership qualities. Also, Injury did not
allow us to use some other good players.
Anyway, we’re grateful to win something
for Nigerians who showed massive
support to us”.
With the bronze medal, Nigeria has now
won gold, silver and bronze from the
Men’s football event of the Olympics. They
won gold in 1996 and picked silver eight
years ago, also under Samson Siasia. said
