SE coach praises best half of footie ever

[metalalloy]

-**** praises his teams first half performance, says Ukraine’s second goal shouldn’t have stood.
-Wants to play 2 more friendlies in October against African opponents.
-Continues focusing on the age of his team saying this is the youngest he’s coached.
-Gives respect to Benin so wants to have good preparations before we play them at home in Afcon qualification.

MATCH AGAINST UKRAINE WAS GOOD, AND...


…I know it's one step at a time but the man should know that in the long run, Ukraine is not Nigeria's ultimate objective.

There is nothing in his interview to suggest he believes so.
And the reference to the "young team" was more about praising their performance and how it indicates a positive sign of things to come.

Damunk,

I wonder if this repeated mention of "young team" does not have a deeper "sinister" ( ?) meaning. It seems to me that this is beginning to sound as comparison to previous teams used by Nigeria and, perhaps, a reflection of discussions going on behind closed doors. The repeated mention is going beyond what one may ordinarily think of it. It may just be me but the repeated mention is giving me the clue that we should go beyond ordinary meanings and examine the use of those two words a bit deeper.

Nah.. This is not the first time he harped about youth, this was when he was the Gabon coach.

“I don’t feel any vengeance against me but the people are impatient. They didn’t really understand we wanted to create a young team that would work together and be united,” he said. “Maybe this result has come at the right time.”

The man went to the WC to gain experience.
He went to the AFCON to gain experience.
With this young team, he will keep gaining experience.
He has a young team.

You see am abi?

Kaii!! we have truly suffered! Those of us who are waiting for trophies, go wait taya! tufiakwa!

you keep saying the man went to wc, Nc etc but never fail to mention how he picked Nigeria from the dead and gave them life because the way SE was going towards Keshi(Rip) ending, and oliseh beginning we could had easily be ranked 100. he brought you guys from 67 to 33 and from failure to qualify for 2 ANC to 3rd place. he has done a GREAT job not even a good job, he has done a GREAT job thus far

'Us guys' you mean.
We all love the SE, just that some of us can get pretty anal and over-''emotional", distorting the real picture.

He's not building a team. He's building a tower of excuses.

You must be a good mind reader. What do you do for a living?

I've grown to like Rohr and supports him now for continuity's sake but the man is a pessimist by nature.
I'm hoping that his constant " we are second fiddle " attitude will not be confidence-shattering hence counter-productive for his " young " team.

Well, the youngest member of his team, VO, thinks the opposite.
