Coach of the Nigeria U23 and CHAN Eagles team Imama Amapakabo has taken a swipe at players playing in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after his team 1-4 loss away to Togo in the CHAN Qualifiers.
Imama watched from the bench as his team fail to build on the early goal they scored in the team to lose 1-4 and the coach has now suggested that the players found it hard to interpret or understand his tactics and formation.
In an interview monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com on Brila FM, the former Enugu Rangers coach said the problem goes beyond the players as most coaches in the NPFL also don’t know how to apply tactics and formations in games.
‘It is a difficult thing for Nigerian players; based in the Country, to interpret tactics and formation, with due respect even some of the Coaches in the league don’t understand tactics and formation, so how do you give what you don’t have,’ he told Brila FM in an interview.
The coach who also doubles as the assistant coach of the Super Eagles is however confident that his ward can overturn the 1-4 result suffered in the first leg in the second leg tie in Nigeria next month.
