Dream Team
VI head coach Samson Siasia has revealed that he will make changes in the
starting XI against Denmark in the second game at the ongoing Suwon Invitational
Tournament in South Korea.
Siasia said
the changes are necessary to give all the players the opportunity to prove
their mettle.
The Dream
Team will be playing Denmark at the 41,000 –capacity Goyang Sports Complex at
18.00 hours local time on Saturday, which is 10am in Nigeria.
In their
opening game against the hosts on Thursday, Nigeria lost 1-0 after conceding a
late goal .
“As part of
our plan to give every player equal opportunity to stake a claim for a shirt
going to the Rio Olympic Games, we will be giving all the players we brought to
Korea a chance to play and be assessed on their own merit, so that none of them
will complain of not getting enough time,” Siasia told thenff.com.
“In our game
against Denmark on Saturday, we will definitely make changes in our starting
eleven.
“This is one
opportunity that we can’t let slip off our fingers as the NFF has given us a
platform to play against three top teams going to the Olympics, so we must take
full advantage of it and hopefully we will get the best legs to represent us in
Rio.”
