EXCLUSIVE: Why Super Eagles Will Win AFCON 2023 - Odegbami

[ANC]

Nwabili is not a starter for his team?
You cant make this up. Why not pick someone local who is playing on a regular basis?

[waka-man]

I’ve watched Nwabali. Never holds on to anything. He’s not the answer.

[Robbynice]

He based his positivity on Uzoho not playing. I cannot agree more. We stand a chance of going all the way if we can solve the GK issue. I don't care how well you play, if your GK cannot save a basic shot, you do not stand a shooting chance.

Fact not feelings!

[Odas]

I am also an optimist by nature. But I can spot people with loser mentality a mile away. We don't have a chance.

Hmm; Ohenhen1, really? Thus you've spotted what will happen that will make us lose, or how did you reach such a conclusion, bro?

[Robotnik]

It's "Nwabali" guys not 'Nwabili"

Ok! Thx for the correction

Wow! Oh yeah? Now, this information worsens my fear. Kai, wahala dey-ooo!

To win Afcon. You need.
1. A good coach
2. A good GK
3. A solid defense
4. A good midfield
5. A physical presence
6. Got to score goals.

We don't have that. But heck anything is possible. I hope they serve me humble pie.

Even the team theme music is rubbish.

Did you watch highlights or full games?

I hope the same, I hope they serve - not only you - but many of us the 'HOT humble Pie.' If such happens, I will be very happy to eat the Pie

Both. The highlights will show you enough though. As for full games, the best thing about him is he’s quite vocal.

[Goldleaf]

Segun Odegbami is smoking some serious weed.
This set of Super Eagles is not strong in my opinion.

[ogasir]

Nigeria is not winning the AFCON. What exactly has the coach shown that makes some people think we will win it? Sometimes the obvious conclusion is the right one.

i personally would have used up all of the 27 man squad. Would have taken 4 GK. GK situation is in crisis mode. I knew from the first time I asw Nwabili play, he wasn't the answer. CE is known for the hype. Once they start hyping a player, there is nothing you can do but to call for his invitation. The only thing that will temper the hype is for the player to play then once they realize he is an average player, they will move onto the next average player like the Swedish bassed GK. I would have invited Kingdom Osayi, Obasogie to camp. Even if they don't play at Afcon. It would be part of our my long term planning. I don't think Peseiro has any long term plans. That is why he is making the decisons he is making.

Nigeria got to make changes.
1. Develop the NPFL
2. Organize regular friendlies. A minimum of 3 new player got to earn their first cap every friendliy. This will increase our talent pool
3. Hire a good coach.

[waka-man]

I would lay out a 6 year plan. The near term is hopeless.
The goals should be:
- identify 20 16-20 year old goalkeeper and fund a world class development programme. Cap as many as you find who have multiple eligibilities. 2-3 of them will come good.

- support the creation of a super league of 4-6 teams only, add some jazz to the league so its marketable and put an age-cap of 23. Make it an attractive option to going abroad, by, perhaps, ensuring each of the teams serves as a feeder team to a top division, top 5 European league team.

- create a fund to ensure our most talented retired players can become top coaches, with good “apprenticeships” with the world’s leading coaches.

All of this requires some money, but nothing we can’t solve if it’s packaged well with good partnerships with private sector brands and media companies.
