I know my 1st eleven against Nigeria already- Croatian Coach
“I have the first eleven that will face Nigeria in Kaliningrad but of course I will not disclose it to the media because the whole structure still depends on form and injury,”
“It is better to know three months before the start of the World Cup and not close to the game.”
“Ivica Olic will be in the United States of America to monitor Iceland who plays Peru and Mexico.
Nikola Jerkan will follow Argentina in the games against Italy and Spain,
while Ognjen Vukojevic will watch Nigeria against Poland and Serbia.”

Good for him. We are waiting.

If i am coaching a team like Croatia...i will know my first team already too! The team easily picks itself .

What else could he have said? Of course he knew his men or those he will use against us, but so does our coach.proclaimjesus02 wrote:“I have the first eleven that will face Nigeria in Kaliningrad but of course I will not disclose it to the media because the whole structure still depends on form and injury,”

Re: I know my 1st eleven against Nigeria already- Croatian C
Scouting the Super Eagles is more of a meaningless exercise and can pass for a nightmare. Our team revels in unpredictability, and in competitive matches we show up for real. Today, an Iheanacho may rifle goals, yet, tomorrow an Iwobi will show you your number. Just when you think you've watched the tape comprehensively, Ighalo has one of those hot days. When you congratulate yourself that you know Victor Moses, Moses Simon dribbles the redemption out of your defense to create goals and you wonder why you weren't told of the other Moses. You think locking down Mikel Obi is the key to throttling our midfield and you start dreaming of victory, on cue, another Obi slides in to bring you back to reality. Now don't get me started on Musa running the defense ragged with his sprinter speed or Etebo getting nostalgic about the bulala he lashed on Japan in the Olympics. Let him keep scouting.

Re: I know my 1st eleven against Nigeria already- Croatian C
Ah ah, so he shouldn't post it? I think the OP highlighted his real focus, which is that they have scouts physically going out to check on each of their opponents in the group. I'm wondering what our scouting consists of, just videos?Odas wrote:What else could he have said?

Re: I know my 1st eleven against Nigeria already- Croatian C
But you still have to do your due diligence and scout, and remarking about the unpredictability of the team might be one of your notes...but at the end of the day we do have a specific pattern of team play and don't rely solely on individual brilliance like during the days of JJ.Obong wrote:Scouting the Super Eagles is more of a meaningless exercise and can pass for a nightmare.

Re: I know my 1st eleven against Nigeria already- Croatian C
Exactly my point! The fact that the team is a collection of individuals several of whom can break out in a game is the hidden strength of the team. The non-reliance on the individual brilliance highlights why the team is dangerous.maceo4 wrote:But you still have to do your due diligence and scout, and remarking about the unpredictability of the team might be one of your notes...but at the end of the day we do have a specific pattern of team play and don't rely solely on individual brilliance like during the days of JJ.Obong wrote:Scouting the Super Eagles is more of a meaningless exercise and can pass for a nightmare.

Re: I know my 1st eleven against Nigeria already- Croatian C
I agree with you there, but only part I disagree with is saying that its a meaningless exercise. Its still necessary especially to identify and then try to find some kind of solution for our unpredictability.Obong wrote:Exactly my point!
