People forget the last U20 WC Final was between Ukraine and South Korea as well. They are strong at this level. Not like they play the best football. This team will park the bus with discipline, hit you on the counter and utilise their set pieces. #MDU20WCDiaries Nomyth: 6 Likes |

Sometimes when you look at the players in Nigeria cadet teams especially under 17 and 20 you can swiftly tell the part of the country the coach hails from......I am even surprised the team got to this level, even my colleague that barely watch nigeria matches hearing the names of the players knew at once the coach hails from the north. Well I wish the boys well, they tried. Ladan Bosso tried. 5 Likes |

Same problem we see with SE. A simple corner and conversion killed the game. We need to grow in other areas of the game. cross and head etc.. Not a bad outing. I believe there are some truly young players in this team. And I hope they continue to develop their game. 5 Likes |

We need to learn to pass the ball. We do not pass in a tactical manner. Too much running with the ball. It is time for the nff to prioritize ball possessive play into our game. This Russian footie is not working. 2 Likes |

It seems the Nigerian team went into this game with the intention of keeping and winning back possession in the Korean half and trying to prize open gaps in the final third. In other words, they envisaged dominating the game. They soon realised that the Koreans were very compact, fully overcrowding the middle of the park. They were also more than capable of doing damage with route one passing from the back starting a counterattack. Add that to their very tidy footwork and link up play in attack and they showed it could be dangerous for us camping in their half like we planned to. After about 30 mins Bosso's men started to adopt a similar tactic to the Koreans which meant that the whole game became stifled. There was no space to operate through the middle and both fullbacks from both teams were not really adept with their crossing ability so even when you used them as an outlet it didn't lead to much. There were hardly any chances created with the ball on the deck by either side in the entire game. Typically these sort of games end I'm Penalty shootouts. If Haliru Sarki was available he might have created something from nothing or produced more end product from some of the early moves down the right like he had done in previous games. The most significant issue was yet again there was just too much bone head decision making when our attackers had the ball, just like in the Dominican game. Shooting when passing would have been a wiser option, taking one touch too many before attempting a pass etc. In games where openings are few and far between those dumb decisions become more damaging to the team! Like I had commented after the previous game, the personnel in this team is suited to counter attacking football and in games where they have the upper hand in midfield the attack seriously lack the inventiveness and intelligence to do much with the ball. On the bright side a good number of the players have had a good tournament. In my opinion the brightest prospects are Haliru Sarki, Benjamin Frederick and Daniel Daga. I don't think Agbalaka has a very high potential ceiling but may carve out a career of sorts due to his discipline and concentration. Good luck to them. 1 Like |

The Nigerian Odds-Defying Campaign ends at the FIFA U20 WC. Some positives and some negatives. Another U20 WC Quarter finals placing for Ladan Bosso after he attained same in 2007 losing out to Chile. Negatives: >>Ladan had to wait till today to play his most balanced midfield 3 from the start and although they did well, one KO game isn't enough for them to gel enough and play beyond what they showed today. He missed it when he was slow to recognising his strongest midfield 3. >>The team obviously had an attack problem from the U20 Afcon and it reared its Ugly head again at this World Cup. No real quality in that attack department except perhaps Haliru Sarki who never failed to impress and cause mayhem off the bench. He was missed today. Look at Emmanuel Umeh for instance. Can give assists, can drive forward and cause trouble with his direct plays but when it comes to finishing, he is damn too poor. Missed 2 huge chances today. What else were we to expect from a lad who bagged only 1 goal in 14 appearances for his clubside? Just too poor in front of goal. Not just him, the entire attack department was below average. >> Bosso obviously doesn't know what to do with so much possession. Having possession is one thing, but knowing what to truly do with it is another. His tactical limitations showed again today. >> On twitter I was in the middle of dropping my thoughts on the Korean strategy before they stung us. I had to cancel. But I drop it here. The Koreans let us do all the playing until about the 80th min or so when they started coming at us and trying to grab a late winner. Our defence saw us over the line in those near shaky moments but the Koreans finally got their goal in the early moments of extra time from a cornerkick and it was clear they were running on reserved energy due to the fact that all they had to do was sit back and allow us exhaust ourselves trying to break them down. The Koreans paced themselves well. They really managed their energy game plan well against a physically superior opposition and WON!!! They were smart and we weren't. >> The Delusions that this team was gonna go all the way to the U20WC Title without a good attack and a mezzala-like midfield profile. It was funny. I feel the team over achieved even. There is an extent to which a team, who's built on defensive solidity, can attain. Positives: >> Like I rightly anticipated long before the tournament began, the midfield and CB pairing lived up to expectations and were the only reasons alongside the GK why I kept good interest in Bosso's side. Benjamin Frederick, Abel Ogwuche, Daniel Daga, Victor Eletu, Tochukwu Nnadi, Chijioke Aniagboso are the true high yield potential talents of this team. They are the topmost Positives. Perhaps I should also give mention to Haliru Sarki who was the only consistent true performer in our attack all tournament. >> We have 3 genuine midfield talents, 2 genuine defensive talents and a decent GK talentto focus on from this team and groom further going forward. #MDU20WCDiaries 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Apart from possession we saw a lot of chances around their box but wrong decision making, lack of crosses or cut backs from the wings cost us. Use both wings to deliver dangerous balls into the centre to unsettle their defense and also instruct your striker to always be in position as much as possible... A header, close range shot, a handball or even a foul will likely occur . These are very drastic and pragmatic clues that bosso should have implemented in search of goal. But no, they always try to pass or penetrate their way in through the middle on too many occasions which made the attack so predictable. And again, poor outside shots- either weak or way too wide... Our attack was so predictable and devoid of creativity or ideas. When attacking, both wingers are supposed to be on their respective flanks and as wide as possible to create width upfront because this will stretch out the opposition defence and force open some pockets of space for teammates to run into. This also creates the possibility of a shooting chance for the ball holder. These are very important and simple tactics that bosso failed to implement in this game and it cost us. So disappointing. But not a bad outing. 1 Like |

He's easily my most favorite player in the squad. And he tops the list of my finest 6 talents from this team. He is a defender but he has the highest ceiling for me. Even higher than Daga. Joebie: 3 Likes |
