Osaze Odemwinge 29th minute goal against Bosnia, which turned out to be the only goal, and the winning goal of that encounter has raised the hopes of Nigerians. In the Brazil 2014 World Cup.
Based on the draw recorded by Nigeria with Iran in the Super Eagles 2014 world cup opening match, many Nigerians deserted the Eagles, saying all sort of things. With the superlative performance of the Eagles over the Bosnia National Football team, Nigerians have regained their strength as they renew their hopes, that afterall, the Super Eagles still have points to prove in the world cup.
While Nigerians are celebrating the victory of the Super eagles over their Bosnia counterpart, Nigerians should pray for Keshi and his lads to maintained same spirit and effort to prosecute their match against Argentina.
Meanwhile the outcome of Argetina match reads Nigeria 2 – Argentina 3.
One area Nigerians should concerned themselves with is serious prayers and fasting to alert the Super Eagles inability to score many goals.
Football is all about winning and winning comes with goal scoring, which the Super Eagle as a team is a suspect.
The Super Eagles as a team is not a high goal scoring side. What of if the Eagles scale through the group stage, and finally meet a high goal scoring side what happens already the Super Eagles is eyeing France in her next encounter if the Eagles scale through Argentina, man marking should be one of the thing the Super Eagles should adopt to pin down serious roving attackers who tend to take shots from in and outside the 18 yards metre box. Yes, Vincent Enyeama is good to an extent but not all shots are stoppable.
This will concern the midfielders largely. Mikel Obi and Onazi with Ahmed and Osaze should also compliment in providing cover to the midfield in man marking.
The Super Eagles should not waste her chances, so they should make use of football follow up and good positioning as Osaze did to get that Bosnia only goal.
The Eagle passes should also be pinpointed while advising Emenike to maintain himself a good position.
Lastly, the Super Eagles should as a matter of fact not allow attackers to rove in the midfield, he should be denied getting in contact with the ball. They should be man-marked from the midfield to the flags. This should also be extended to all good ball distributors in the France squad, if Nigeria will want to play her game and win. ###
