The camp of the Super Eagles for the game against Tanzania in the AFCON qualifiers has come alive, with all invited players available for the team’s second training session later today, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Yesterday they had around 17 players including the three goalkeepers in their first training, meaning the coach couldn’t do any serious tactical or technical drill ahead of Friday’s game.
However today the coach intends to focus more on how they will approach the game with the intention of having a team, that will be offensive sensing that Tanzania will sit back and hope to catch Nigeria on the counter.
We can exclusively reveal that the idea of dumping the diamond formation for a straight 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 with a lone defensive midfielder and two offensive attacking midfielders is also on the cards.
Also the coach will try out traditional wingers in Moses Simon and Usor Moses in the event that Tanzania decides to sit back. The full backs will also be made to play high up the pitch on Friday.
