Super Eagles head coach Samson Siasia
has challenged the Super Eagles home stars to show they can be relied on to
deliver the goods in crucial matches whenever the need arises.
Siasia was unimpressed with the
players after they struggled to a scoreless draw Thursday evening against
Nigeria National League side, Katsina United in a friendly game played inside
the main bowl of the National Stadium, Abuja.
"We have to step up our
commitment level and show more seriousness," the Coach opened up to his
players.
"I am yet to see that hunger in
all of you in all the friendly matches we have played so far since we opened
this camp. We are facing Egypt in about two weeks and we will not stand any
chance against them if we do not change our attitude," Siasia said.
He added: "How can we, the Super
Eagles, play against this NNL team and fail to create one clear –cut goal
scoring opportunity? If we cannot create chances in this kind of games, when
and where will we be able to create them? I know we are far better than this
performance and will improve but we have to do so very quickly because there is
no time."
Since opening camp last Sunday in
Abuja, the Super Eagles home stars have played three friendly games, two of
them against the Rio Olympics –bound Nigeria U23 team. They have managed to
score twice and also conceded two goals, a situation that the coaches would
want changed as preparation shifts to a higher level in the coming days.
