MERE QUALIFICATION FOR THE NATIONS CUP HAS BECOME A HERCULEAN UPHILL TASK. WE HAVE GAMBLED AND CONTINUE TO GAMBLE WITH THE ONLY THING THAT MAKE EVERY NIGERIAN FEEL SENSE OF PRIDE AND AND SOURCE OF CONSOLATION AMIDST THE HECTIC SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES OF OUR NATIONAL LIFE. FROM FOREIGN COACH TO INDIGENOUS COUCH- FROM SIASSIA TO KESHI, ONLY GOD KNOWS WHO WILL BE CALLED UP NEXT TO HANDLE OUR SICK EAGLE.
I AM CONVINCED THAT NO MATTER THE NUMBER OF TIMES WE CHANGE COACHES, THE PROBLEM OF THE DISMAL PERFORMANCE OF NIGERIA S SENIOR FOOTBALL TEAM WILL PERSIST , UNLESS WE COME TO REALIZATION THAT THE FOOTBALL HAS EVOLVED, IT IS NO LONGER QUESTION OF FANCIFUL DISPLAY OF INDIVIDUAL TALENT AND SKILL THAT DISTINGUISH GREAT FOOTBALLERS OF THESE DAYS. LIONEL MESSI COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A HOUSE HOLD NAME TODAY IF NOT FOR HIS ABILITY TO PUT THE BALL BEHIND THE NET.
SEVERAL COACHES HAVE COME AND GONE AFTER BON FRE JO AND WESTAHOF, BUT NONE HAS GOT COMMITTED TO THE ISSUE OF HEAD HUNT FOR SCORERS WHICH WE BADLY NEED IN THE TEAM. THE HANDFUL OF SCORERS ARE NOT GIVEN ATTENTION AND GROOMED. ODEWNGE, YAKUBU, UCHE AND SEVERAL OTHERS TOP SCORERS IN THEIR EUROPEAN CLUBS SHOULD BE GIVEN MORE ATTENTION. THERE MUST BE REASON WHY THEY DO NOT BANG IN GOALS WHEN THEY PLAY FOR OUR NATIONAL TEAM, LETS FIND OUT WHY, THEN SEEK FOR SOLUTION FOR IT. THEN, WHY ARE PLAYERS LIKE SANNI EMMANUEL, STANLEY, AND OTHER HIDDEN TALENTED SCORERS BEING IGNORED WHILE OUR NATIONAL TEAM CONTINUE ON THEIR FALSE HOPE THAT THEY CAN MAKE POSITIVE IMPACT IN COMPETITIONS.
WE SHOULD KNOW THAT FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT SCORING GOALS, AND IF WE CANT FIND THE SOLUTION TO THIS GOAL SCORING ABILITY IN OUR TEAM, WE WILL STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR LONGER BEFORE WE CAN SEE OUR NATIONAL TEAM COME BACK TO THE DREAM NATIONAL TEAM OF THE QUALITY OF SUPER EAGLES OF 1993 AND 1994. GREEN EAGLES FANS DEMAND FOR PLAYERS WHO CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THE ONES THAT CAN BANG THE BALL INSIDE THE NET. WE ARE TIRED OF 0-0 DRAW MATCH RESULTS AND 1-0 SCORE LINES...AFTER ALL FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT SCORING GOALS...OR ABI NOBE SO...?
