Nigerians should not give up on the Super Eagles just yet because in football we have adaptation to playing conditions process. The team will perform better as the tournament progresses.
We have the best players in Africa today, adaptation to the playing condition of the pitch will change the story of Nigerian Super Eagles in the AFCON 2023.
Nigerians will see a better performing Eagles against the host Nation cote de ivoire.
I have said this times without numbers. Nigerian Football Federation need to have a facilities committee with seasoned groundsmen as advance team to any major tournament.
Technical playing conditions report would have helped our coaches in team formation which might see the need to fuse some of our NPFL players who are doing very well in our local premier league primarily because of the playing condition of the AFCON pitches.
It takes contineous traing for an elite player who has been trained on a speed football pitch to adapt to the playing conditions of a slow ball bounce and roll pitches like 100% natural grass pitches that naturally have slow ball movement.
This is not just a Nigerian problem, all the African teams that are made up of elite players suffers the same faith.
