Bradley Tips Nigeria For Excellence

All the players of the national team that lost 2-3 to Egypt last Thursday in an international friendly in Dubai, have vowed that they will not make the mistakes that caused the last minute loss in their qualifiers for the South Africa 2013 Nations Cup and the Brazil 2014 World Cup qualifier.

To Enyimba of Aba’s football player,Henry Uche,whose performance was rated above average, said they lost concentration at some point and that was why they were able to get the last minute goal,adding that he foresees a better outing when the team steps out against Gabon next month in Libreville.

Warri Wolves defender, Azubuike Egwueke, said they were carried away by the fact that Egyptians had won two Cup of Nations back to back and it affected them, stressing that they had learned fast and soon the world will see the real Super Eagles.

“I think we thought of them as the team that won two Cup of Nations back to back and it affected us, but we are learning fast and soon the world will see the real Super Eagles”.;

Team skipper, Chigozie Agbuim, said he had taken some lessons from the game but noted that the entire team caved in at the wrong time. “We let our guards down thinking that we have drawn the game and we paid for it, I know that it won’t happen next time, because we have learnt this one the bitter way”, he said.

But Egyptian Head Coach Bob Bradley, while blaming his team lack of finesse against Nigeria on match rustiness, said he foresees the Nigerian side ruling African football in less than six months if the Nigeria Football Federation is able to hold the team together.
