I think they would play more like the Austrians and Germans. They have tall and strong players and also technically good from the few videos i have seen.
the Swedes were tall and big as well. The outcome of both games ie Nigeria-Brazil and Hungary-Korea DPR will determine the pattern of play in the next game IMO

What happened to Musa Mohammed? I thought he was the best and the most confident when it comes to that, he has never missed.

The more I read this kind of news, the faster I think we need to sack Stephen Keshi.

Just last week, the Super Eagles played a goalless draw with Spotlight FC and Keshi said he was satisfied with the performance. This was the same Spotlight team that the Flying Eagles beat 3-1 back in January in Katsina and after the win, Garba said that though the win was commendable, he knows his team can still do better.

Two coaches. Two different mentality.


Let me ask you a question.

If you want to eat dinner and you send a Tiger and a pet cat to go hunting for you. And the tiger comes home with an ordinary bush rat instead of a big antelope or deer. Will you be pleased with it?

But if the pet cat comes home with 2 squirells will you not be happy with it?

My point, the quality of tool at your disposal determines the result you get.

If Keshi is satisfiee with the draw, it is because he knew the quality of the boys he worked and what to expect. Or do you expect him to perform magic?

Awoniyi has to score 48 goals more for this team to equal Isaac's record..... Maybe this will help those '' anti-isaac'' get a glimpse of the reputation the guy has in this team since the team's genesis.

What's the difference btw Siasia and Keshi,Keshi is even a better coach, by his records.. because Siasia got to U20 finals...wat.again has he done? he coached. Oceann boys or so.. wat happened.. U20 after ladan bosso wat happened.. Wafu cup...wat happened.. nations. cup qualifiers..jst a. Draw could av qualified us...wat happened.. Manu hz bn consistent.. weda he wins or not, he is a better coach..
linked:
this is the problem with nigerians.... Why is nobody ranting that bosso failed.. Ancelote was trophyless for Madrid. .. Does that automatically make him a failure.?

If manu fail to win this WYC i believe you will term him a failure too.


The rule is simple.... YOU CAN'T ALWAYS WIN

That why i posited and still reiterating that the trio of nacho, Success and Moses MUST NOT be played together. That lineup lacks balance

Manu should just keep faith with his familiar formations provided it works for him. He can later introduce some of the new players gradually. Introducing Success, Moses, Iheanacho and Awoniyi is an impending disaster knowing fully well that the duo haven't played together in a match situation before. The coach can't start using gambling on new formations and combinations at this stage against fierce rivals like Brazil. That might be counter productive. Besides, any player in that team is capable of playing against Brazil. My opinion though.

[b][size=14pt]World Cup will fetch me deal says Isaac Success[/size]



Spain-based Flying Eagles striker Isaac Success has said he expects the U20 World Cup in New Zealand to earn him a new offer.

Success is on loan to CF Granada from Udinese of Italy and has already made his debut for the La Liga outfit this past season.

He said his performance in New Zealand with the Flying Eagles could well determine his immediate future.

“I am just a player and the decision is left for Udinese whether to recall me. If they do not need me, I will continue to play in Granada,” he said.

“I believe if I have a good World Cup, I will definitely get a good offer.

“This is the World Cup and even kids who know nothing about football will be watching. Players at U20 level are capable of playing in the top leagues across the world, so I am ready to do what I can do.”

He said he is delighted that Granada will play again in the Spanish top flight after yet another successful battle against relegation.

“I did not have enough playing time at Granada. But at least I am happy that we are staying up in La Liga and this will give me a second chance to prove myself if I am so opportuned,” he said. [/b]

If you actually have been following the team pre-AYC then those success stats shouldn't surprised you... Prior to the u 17 AYC this team have been together for well over a year... Infact during the AYC prior the AYC proper success has score over 60 goals already.. . In their group game against ghana the commentator mentioned this interesting stat.

[b][size=14pt]Manu promises Flying Eagles spectacle[/size]



Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba has said he expects a spectacular match against five-time champions Brazil in Monday’s U20 World Cup clash at the Stadium Taranaki in New Plymouth, New Zealand.

Kick-off of the opening Group E showdown will be 1pm local time, which is 2am on Monday in Nigeria.

“It (the match) will be a spectacle,” predicted an upbeat coach Manu at the official press conference ahead of the match.

“Brazil have won the World Cup five times, but Nigeria are no pushovers either. I am here with the bulk of the squad who won the U17 World Cup two years ago. We are the youngest team in New Zealand, but we are a great side.

“We have the confidence and we will win.

“This is the most important match for us because a win will boost our morale as we plan to go all the way to win this tournament.”

He added: “We are at full strength and only need mother luck from God now.”

Flying Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho said they will attack Brazil on Monday.

“We are a very good team going forward and we will attack any team including Brazil with full force,” said the Manchester City starlet, who was named MVP of the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. [/b]

You need to be cleared by NFF before any transfer from Nigeria. At that point, the thinking was that, they were too young but they could have been great players if they were allowed to leave.
