In the 2010 World Cup, Nigeria did not include the state champions. But the coach Lars Lagerback believes ‘Super Eagles’ can fly up to the semi-finals of the desired target line.
Lagerback Shaibu Amodu was appointed as a substitute for bringing Nigeria became the third champion in the last African Nations Cup. This is the third appearance in the World Cup Lagerback after the 2002 and 2003 menukangi Swedish national team.
For Nigeria, South Africa’s participation this time was the fourth after the United States in 1994, France 1998 and Japan-South Korea 2002. They were joined in Group B with Argentina, South Korea and Greece.
See the map on the strength of the group, it is definitely a favorite Argentina to escape from the group. Nigeria residence and two competitors fighting for a place there for ‘Team Tango’.
The problem is whether Nigeria can afford to do this? According Lagerback, his team will be able to perform maximally in there since they are not superior and certainly could appear off to reach the semi-final target, announced his PSSI Nigeria.
“Nigeria has a great opportunity to perform well in the World Cup. Even though I train a small country like Sweden, I always have the ambition and the confidence we can win every game and played well,” explained Lagerback on FIFA’s official website.
“If you do not have confidence to win in a tournament, either as a coach or player, then you do not deserve to be there,” he asserted.
“Playing football at this level is about winning and winning. I think a realistic opportunity for Nigeria to be able to drive as far as possible at the World Cup in South Africa later on,” said the man was 61 years.
Nigeria also had a chance to appear surprised there because they have a line of high quality talent. Call it Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, John Obi Mikel, Daniel Amokachi or senior attacker, Nwanko Kanu.
“We will play 4-5-1, 4-4-2, because in my opinion that when you meet a great team, you must be realistic to choose a system that will give you a great opportunity to win.”
“This is my goal with the Super Eagles. I have to wait and study this before the team determines the best pattern or system,” lid Solderberg Tommy’s ex tandem.
