Why Nigeria Vs. Uruguay was really interesting.

 

This was the game that would have made the super Eagles a team to fear and respect. But with the performance that the players put up was just as sad as I have come to expect of the team that Stephen Keshi has assembled.

The manager of the Nigeria national team must have had a good plan before the Match started because his selection of players showed some potentials that could have changed the way match against Uruguay national team.

The technical ability of the Uruguay made it very difficult for the Nigerians to make the best of their oppunities that was always coming their way. Not only did the Celeste have in their ranks players like Luis Suarez,Edinson Cavani,Diego Forlan etc. Players with very high technical and physical capability that the Nigeria supper eagles lacked enormously.

The defense of the supper eagles held quit a number of well planed and practiced attack from the Celeste which only  showed the physical and quick of the defense that only lacked the technical ability to change those waves of attacks in counter attacks Only to emphasize the amount of work needed by the manager Stephen Keshi .

 The match must have come as a complete shock to the Celeste who attacked a lot in the opening minutes of the match and got rewarded by a goal that came off the must unlikely player on the day as the ball came off the shine of Cavani and want on to the foot of Diego Lugano.

Then the game seemed to change just as the Celeste got their opener. The supper eagles got to the controls and got game then went on to put more pressure on their opponent and all the possession all favored the Nigerians and then the goal that brings the game back to level table.

The second half of the game started with the super eagles and the Celeste going at it with their all. The technical changes made by Stephen Keshi did not really help because most of the attack was not really planed or practiced. The passes of the supper eagles were not accurate enough and the wings which ought to be their greatest strength was not as effective as everyone had expected it to be because Ahmed Muse just could not deliver the passes in the box.

Muse to me was the most out of placed player on the pitch because he just did not know what he was there on the wings to do. He had a lot of possession and opening to score only for him to just throw all to the wind without any technical ability.  Well I hope he learns to be what we want him to be.

Again Diego Forlan rolled back his age and made every body believe that age is just a number if you are fit and happy. He marked his 100 cap with a supper goal that almost put a hole in the net.

In all the super eagles just need to work and get more  international games under their belt and please someone tell Keshi to get a winger that really know what he is doing .

What do you all think?
