Nigeria

“Numerous Lapses”

   

Yeah, coach Amodu, that’s one way to see our craptaculous midfield, which has been a consistent caveat in our recent good form.

To keep my expectations in perspective, I came of age in football during the hey-day of Sunday Oliseh and Jay-Jay Okocha blazing across the midfield and setting the imagination on fire, so I have pretty high standards

Still, I’m honestly not quite sure what exactly the problem is in the midfield. Technical proficiency exists in younger players like Mikel Obi and Kalu Uche, both of whom have really begun to bloom. Coupled with someone like Olofinjana’s experience, we should at least have an average to good midfield, instead of the merely passable one we’re currently fielding.

Like I said on the event of his formal retirement, Nigerian football has been hurting since Okocha’s international retirement, and that vacuum still exists. I wish Amodu luck on his search, and perhaps he’ll find the play-maker who’ll lead us to the trophy.
