What does the Nigerian national team need? Eguavoen answers.

After the loss from Rwanda, the interim coach of the Nigerian national team spoke about the difficulties his team faces in the process of creating chances and scoring.

According to him, the Nigerian national team lacks creativity in midfield, so the process of generating goals is more and more difficult for any team that the Nigerian national team faces.

Nigera suffered the first defeat in the current qualifiers with a goal for nothing, to show the coach the problems that the national team suffered in the Championship and at the previous time as well.

Coach Iguavin after the match expressed his disappointment over the loss, but stressed that the absence of a creative player was the main reason behind this first loss and said: “Goals win games, we all know that. They are scoring goals in their club sides, they are scoring goals in training. But when it comes to the game, they don’t score goals. I keep asking the same questions, But you know there are some players who can make a difference, who can put the ball into space for them to go to goal. But we are still looking for that player who has that flair and creativity. A good playmaker who can put the ball into space for them”

The problem of the lack of a creative player in the midfield of the African national team has been a problem for years and this problem must be worked on in the coming times to avoid its consequences in major tournaments.
