“At the Russia 2018 World Cup, we lost to Argentina in the dying minute of the game, which the Argentines dominated tactically. And at Egypt 2019 AFCON, another dying minute goal to Algeria in the game the Algerians dominated well. The last friendly match against Ukraine was also manifestation of the tactical ineptitude of the Coach,” Adelabu told The Guardian in Lagos yesterday.
“The problem with this set up is that we don’t have a game plan. I have said it several times that if you do not have a game plan, you will continue to run with the ball, which our players do in most of our matches,” Adelabu stated. “But if you have a game plan, you allow the ball to do the running. Our players need to learn to communicate with their passes, set pieces and runs.
Adelabu, a former manager of Eko United FC of Lagos, said that Nigeria’s only saving grace is that we a blessed with natural strikers who can be dangerous at any point in time.“Take for instance Ahmed Musa is the most underutilized fast winger in the history of Nigeria football. He needs special training to be able to run down a particular side of the opponent’s defense, push the defense back to their area when we are under pressure, and also to force his way into the penalty box for spot kick.
When are we going to have our own Nigerian made football that foreign players will struggle to fit into because of our philosophy? Players are brought into the national team in such a way that proved that we don’t have standard and no programme for development of the national team.”
