Former Nigeria’s Dream Team coach Samson Siasia has said the country can not win the upcoming 2023 African Cup of Nations as the team is disorganised presently.
Former Nigeria midfielder made the statement while speaking on Channel TV, he also said it would be more painful if Nigeria failed to win the tournament and lost the World Cup ticket.
” Like the majority of Nigerians, I am worried about the Eagle’s lacklustre performances so far. Struggling against countries like Lesotho and Zimbabwe is not a good sign of a team ready to win the Africa Cup of Nations as well as qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
“Let us not deceive ourselves, we cannot be the best in Africa with this disorganised team. Our players must be made to understand what it means to wear the green and white jersey of the nation while the coach also needs to improve on the tactical approach.
It will be too painful if, with the quality of players at our disposal, we don’t win the AFCON or fail to pick a World Cup ticket, shortly after missing qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup”, he said.
