[b][size=14pt]Green questions Eagles' preparation[/size] ![]() Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Executive Committee member, Barrister Christopher Green, reckons the preparations of the Flying Eagles for the 2015 Fifa U20 World Cup could have been better. The Nigeria U20 team spent the final weeks of their preparation in Germany where they played three tune-up games but Green says the choice was not ideal. “The first mistake we made (in our preparations for the tournament) was going to Germany. The climate in Germany and New Zealand are anything but similar. “And the Brazilians we played against (on Monday) in our first match have been in New Zealand from the 16th of May,” Green told Nigeria Info FM on Monday. The NFF chief then took the time to assess the team’s performance against Brazil in their opening game in group E. Goals from Success Isaac and Musa Yahaya proved to be merely academic as the Flying Eagles lost 2-4 to the South Americans at the Stadium Taranaki, New Plymouth. “Our coach (Manu Garba) made the mistake of trying to go for an over kill against the Brazilians. “He played four strikers in the game and that was basically suicide against a very strong Brazilian side. “I don’t know if members of the NFF’s technical study group had any input in that game because the coach would have been advised against playing four strikers,” he said. Nigeria will look to put their campaign back on track with a win over Korea DPR on June 4 in their second game in the competition. [/b] |

I say we opt fr Simon Moses, Nacho, Yahaya combination up front. We will have a skillful brilliant attack. Maybe the best I the competition. |

I do not think we lost because of a tactical errors, even though we could question Coach Garba's tactics. We lost because of individual errors. If Awoniyi buried the goal before the Brazilians scored, it would have been a different story. The Brazilians gained two goals because of mistakes of the goal keeper. I think most criticism should not be directed towards coach Manu Garba and his crew. joseph1013: |

TheGoodJoe:That combo's never been tested so if the coaches opt for it, na another experimentation be that o bros! I so don't want to think about some tactics going bad once more. |
Re: Flying Eagles of Nigeria Thread: U-20 World Cup (New Zealand 2015) by TheGoodJoe(m): 4:33pm On Jun 02, 2015 |
Greenbuoy: Playing Nacho as a wing forward have not been tested with this team. It is the logical option. Any combination with Nacho will be experimental unless we're leaving him out of the line up. |

You have point Sir GoodJoe... And I agree with it. In the absence of certain individual errors, Nigeria wud hv beaten brazil by maybe 4-1 or 5-2. With that starting line up which a lot of pple hv criticized, Brazil wud still hv fallen. But it's ok... We're marching on!!! We will meet them again (I forsee a semifinal clash) and this time they're gonna beg to end that game early enough coz we're gonna 'RAPE' Brazil (yeah, I knw 'rape' is kinda harsh but take it frm me, The win will be akin to it).

So bad for Argentina, they have good players, but Grondona is not a coach, only he is there for the hand of his father Julio Grondona |

Hahahahahahaha... Overconfidence? I'm sorry Sir but that's what u call it... I call it 'Conviction based on Knowledge of what I'm talking about'. Now lemme ask u dis, God calls u, as a Christian, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN 2 COR.5v21. Will it be overconfidence to call myself what God says I am? Or Modesty to say, 'God was exaggerating, I'm just a sinner trying to get it right'? LOOK FRIEND, THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO CRIME IN CALLING THESE BOYS WHAT THEY TRULY ARE....... ...CHAMPIONS, WINNERS, JUGGERNAUTS, AND INVINCIBLES... They have proven these over time and over the past 2-3 yrs. THIS IS WHO THEY ARE... So what's the crime in CALLING THEM BY WHO THEY ARE? It will not distract them or put them under pressure... Instead it will remind them of their limitless potentials and inspire them to shake the very foundations of this tournament and beyond AND BRING DOWN FRUIT UNHEARD OF... So bro relax, besides ur moniker tells me u'll do worse 4 Man Utd... Hehehe. But, truly, THIS IS WHO THEY ARE... United4lyf: |

[b][size=14pt]Mustapha Apologizes to All Nigerians for Defeat[/size] [img]http://dc594.4shared.com/img/ICcGxXHbba/s7/14db4f64cf0/Mustapha?async&rand=0.07801435980945826[/img] Nigerian U20 LeftBack, Abdulahi Mustapha has apologized for the 4-2 gallant loss at the hands of their Brazilian counterparts. The match which has been dubbed the most entertaining match yet at the U20 FIFA World Cup was full of intrigues and attacking movements. It would be recalled that the Nigerian players had promised the Nation that they would defeat Brazil before the game but that was not to be as Brazil matched them skill for skill in the brilliant encounter. Mustapha has thus come out to beg football-crazy Nigerians who suffered sleeplessness in the wee hours of Monday to watch their beloved team. "I'm very sorry to all Nigerians for the 4-2 defeat against Brazil. #Allah is the reason# cheer up to the next game against Korea #itmustbegood#", he said. While alot of fans back home blamed Mustapha for his shambolic displays in the opener, the coaches disagreed as during training they blamed Awoniyi and Success for the poor showing of Abdullahi as they told them that both attakers left Mustapha with no cover and mostly with two Brazilian men on him. They gave examples of how the attackers had covered him in training and how Yahaya was seen coming to the defense of Musa at the right back during the match. It is still unclear which of the two forwards Coach Manu Garba will axe from the next game against Korea as he wants a different mentality that had made them not lose in 45 matches prior to the Monday game. But sources reveal that Success is carrying a hamstring injury and is unsure of playing in the next game. It is good news that the players and coaches have thrown the disappointment of the Brazilian defeat behind them and are concentrating on the next game. They were cheerful in training and were seen cracking jokes, a vast departure from the atmosphere at the end of the Brazilian match. They have thus made up their minds that the next two games are must-win matches and are confident of picking the maximum points at stake. [/b] 1 Like |

femi9naija:spot on bro,the team was too attack minded,at halftime he should have brought on Idowu to shore up the midfield,we were blaming our defense but we failed to realised they received no help from the forwards and we only had on marker in Ifeanyi Ifeanyi in midfield.The full backs especially mustapha were left exposed because the guys playing infront of them were not tracking back.Hope Manu will play one striker and an attacking midfielder with either Moses or Bulbwa and Yahaya from the wings. 1 Like |
