SCOUT TO HELP OLISEH TRACK EAGLES

 Nigerian football scout  Bonaventure  Ibezim based in Germany have sensationally declared to help the new Super Eagles coach scout for eligible Nigerian players around the world who can make Nigeria proud. He said that he has consistently followed Nigerian football and the players both home and abroad and can confirm that though, Nigeria is not as blessed as she used to be in football especially in nineties when AFCON qualifier was no head ache for Super Eagle handlers, that he can conveniently name players that can gradually restore the pride of Nigeria among the comity of nations as regards round leather game.

He encouraged coach Sunday Oliseh to be confident in the job which he recently accepted as African nations cup qualifier can never be an issue for Nigeria if the right players are selected.

He warned Oliseh to avoid the mistakes that saw the down fall of Coach Stephen Keshi.  In his words ‘’ Oliseh must establish a playing pattern as we use to have in Nineties. In Nineties, a blind man in Nigeria knows that Oliseh is our established defensive midfielder, Okocha attacking, Finidi right winger, Amuneke Left winger and Rashidi will be waiting for the balls to score the goals. 

He lamented that the result is no longer the case now, Nigeria has been building team like forever and you can no longer beat your chest and bet that Nigeria will beat Tanzania. You can no longer tell who will take Nigeria’s free kicks , Corner kicks and even penalty. You can no longer tell who will start except for few players like Enyeama and Mikel. He expressed confidence in the ability of Sunday Oliseh having watched him time without numbers analyse the game . 

He went further to suggest players that can fill various positions comfortably .  He said, OLiseh is a modern coach with all the technical no how having obtained highest certificate there is in the game.

In the no 1 position which is the goal keeper, I suggest Oliseh sticks with Enyeama while also encouraging the younger lads both home and abroad to come up and challenge for positions.
