3 Things That Went Wrong As Nigeria Lost To C.A.R.

Wilfred Ndidi, Etebo And Alex Iwobi’s Absence.

Nigeria Super Eagles play below expectations because of the absence of Wilfred Ndidi, Ogenekaro Etebo and Alex Iwobi at the middle of the field. There was no connection between the attack and the midfield throughout the 90 minutes of play.

Lack Of Creative Players In The Team

One of the reasons why the Super Eagles lost is because there was no creative player in the starting line up. Genort Rohr’s selection should be questioned because lack of creative players made the team to play below expectations.

Poor Tactical Approach By The Head Coach.
