Nigeria v Madagascar preview

Exciting,thrilling and winning is fantasy football in the context of Nigeria’s Super Eagles. Not to worry,the team will evolve to that level.A team that failed to shine at the World Cup has laid the foundation for a new cycle in our football history.With fifteen foreign and eleven home based players invited,Cerezo is the man to lead the Eagles against Madagascar, on the fourth of september.
The chance of a life time will come the way of more than half invited, to stake a strong claim heading into the next round of matches.Having gone past the Lagerback era of playing world cup matches with three defensive midfielders in a game, the team can now put the mundial in perspective and revert to a more disciplined approach.This is in cognizance with the strengths of the team in line with systems like 4-4-2,4-3-3 and 4-5-1 as the case may be.Against Madagascar early september come kickoff time,the Eagles should work for ball possession,control and attacking football from the wings across the mouth of goal.Playing with wide disciplined wingers in Finidi’s mould, would allow us to exploit weaknesses of opponents down the flanks and through the center.Where is Stanley Okoro? the Nigerian youth international could fulfill a role on the wings of a team lacking the balance and poise of champions.

The game is almost upon us and the interim coach of the Super Eagles Austin Eguavoen ,will be working towards a victory.He will be hoping that the impressive club forms of players like Osaze,Enyeama,and Suswan on the home front will continue in the all important Nations Cup qualifier.
I expect the Eagles to take the victory with a 3-1 margin.That’s a tough call in football these days.
