WITH few days to the kick off of the African Nations Cup in Tunisia
this month, former coach of the national Under-20 team, Olatunde Disu has urged handler of the Super Eagles, Coach Christian Chukwu to shop for a sound left footer for the team if Nigeria must do well at the championship.
The Saudi ‘89 Flying Eagles coach noted in a chat with Sports Vanguard yesterday at the National Stadium, Lagos that one of the major problems the Nigerian senior team normally have was the absence of a natural left footer since the exit of Emmanuel Amuneke from the Eagles.
Coach Disu who now tinkers the NITEL FC of Lagos took exception to coaches begging some players to play for their father land. He said such players should see their invitation to the national team as a mark of honour while advising that the coach and the officials of the Nigeria Football Association [NFA] should always look into the problems the players are having and find ways of alleviating them.
“Players like Obafemi Martins who has not featured at all for the
country should see it as a mark of houour. As a matter of fact, we need a left footer, that’s what is killing our team, there’s no doubt that we need a player like Obafemi, but it’s not for them to go begging him to play. They should only talk to him to see if he can change his mind”.
The Nigeria’99 World Youth Championship [WYC] team coach however said that there are players the country cannot afford to miss as far as Tunisia 2004 is concerned, stressing that the Nations Cup is a high grade competition and requires the best talents available in the country to execute it.
“There are players we cannot miss as far as the Tunisia 2004 is
concerned because when you talk about the Nations Cup, it’s the best Nigeria should present, not mediocres, but class, high level players.
In the attack, we should have players like Julius Aghahowa, John
Utaka, Obafemi Martins and Tijani Babangida, while in the midfield are Austin Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu and others . In the defensive are Joseph Yobo, Isaac Okoronkwo, Ifeanyi Udeze on the left side who should be supported by players from Enyimba FC. These are the players I expected should be there. In fairness to this country, we have talented players other African countries cannot produce”, he said.
He urged the NFA to tackle the issue of players’ allowances and bonuses which have always been the bone of contention between the players and the officials of the team and the NFA.

For a child of God, silence in the face of problem is an act of ignorance
