Dream Team VI coach,
Samson Siasia, will overhaul his team ahead of the African U-23 Cup of Nations,
which will serve as qualifier for next year’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. Siasia
said he is happy that the worst has happened at the All-Africa Games and will
correct his mistakes.
“We
will make corrections after the All-Africa Games. I plan to travel to talk to
some players I have already penciled down, then hopefully, the team should be
assembling in first week of October to prepare for the Africa U-23 Cup of
Nations,” he told AfricanFootball.com.
“Certainly,
some of the players I brought to Congo Brazzaville will have to give way.”
He
added: “I never imagined losing to Burkina Faso, but then my midfielders played
so well, my defenders and attackers let me down, can you imagine my attackers
not being able to convert about eight chances that came their way?
“To
make matters worse, the defenders were asleep on a day they should have been up
and doing. Who told the central defenders to keep offside trap the way they
did?
“I
am totally disappointed, we can’t play like this in Senegal and expect to qualify
for the 2016 Olympics. No way!
“We
were so bad that anytime the ball beat the defenders, even my goalkeeper could
not stop any of the shots fired at him.
“Football
is a team work where errors are bound to occur, but it’s the ability of fellow
team mates to cover for one another that makes a team great, that I didn’t see
on Tuesday.”
