The World Cup Qualifier is looking a tedious chase after the Super-Eagles drew in Uyo with Zimbabwe; sitting in 4th position with South -Africa leading Nigeria by points points gap.
Nigeria could slip up if the plan and the players do not align in the most effective manner. New invitee -Amas Obasogie former Bendel Insurance goalkeeper, has stated his belief about competing for the first choice position.
What canStanley Nwabali add to his game ahead of the NCQ and AFCON to help the Eagles soar?
A healthy competition between the duo of Nwabali, Amas Obasogie and perhaps any other goalkeeper Eric Chelle would bring on board is a welcome development. NationGuardTV Sports would suggest to Nwabali and the former Bendel Insurance goalkeeper to watch clips of Manuel Nuer closely and see him taking charge of the defense department.
The Super Eagles whose wings were clipped by the visiting Zimbabwe players
The defense department is primarily the goalkeeper’s fort. A great goalkeeper attends “defenders conference” steadfastly. Understanding the possible loops in the formation your team plays can give you the first edge in high profile games . Addressing the defense line during attack or when opponents build their attack is another way to go.
Counter attacks should be a major secret weapon up the teams sleeves. With Victor Osimhen, Chukwueze, Lookman, Simon and Boniface in the team, Nwabali should launch more counter attacks to intensify the press from a deeper position.
