Them fuck up joor...Hehe...Assistant
coach of Nigeria’s U-20 team, Nduka Ugbade, has said that the limited
time the foreign-based players had to work with the team, is one of the
major reasons the Flying Eagles flopped at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup
in New Zealand.
Kelechi Iheanacho, Musa Yahaya and Isaac Promise
are some of the key names that were supposed to add experience and bite
to Manu Garba’s team, but they all ended up playing cameo roles.
The African champions crashed out in the second round after losing 1-0 to Germany.

“That
was not what we expected considering what the team has achieved all
through the year but at this point, it is very difficult to analyse what
the situation is,” Ugbade told Goal.
“The
error we made was bringing the foreign-based players into the team and
not having enough time to work with them. It really affected the team
psychologically and it became very difficult to come out of it till we
crashed out of the competition against Germany.
“For almost one
year and a half, we had not worked together. The fitness level and
tactical approach in U20 were totally different from what was obtainable
at U17.”
Ugbade added that although it would be difficult, but if the team is kept together, they will go on and rule the world someday.
“One
is not going to be able to keep them together for a long period of time
because of the trend in world football. Most of the players would get
teams abroad, while some will remain in the local league,” he added.
“The
key thing here is for us to correct our mistakes in New Zealand and
hope for a brighter future. If against all odds Serbia could win the U20
World Cup, who says these boys in many years to come can’t win the Fifa
World Cup for Nigeria?”
