Kashimawo Laloko, one time NFF Technical Director, recently condemned the strategies which the Nigerian side took the pitch against Colombia on Thursday 11th of August during the ongoing Rio Olympic global sport event.
The Nigerian coach in respect of Samson Siasia portrayed traces of over confidence in his line up for the match by resting 5 players from the main eleven with the motives that the team would perform excellently with the likes of those players on the pitch.
Nigeria lost by two goals to Columbia on Thursday the team was defeated 2 goal to noting and it was a surprise to team because the Nigerian team dint see it coming. Regardless of the defeat Nigeria still went on to qualify to the quarter finals at top of Group B.
It was observed that the initial reason why the team lost to Colombia on Thursday was mainly because the Nigerian side already qualified to the quarter finals even before the kick off of the match against Colombia nut the big question here is what is the guarantee that Nigeria would have done any better if the team played with her best form and zeal?.
To Colombia the point is regardless of what the fans of the team are saying the fact still remains that Nigeria lost by 2 goals and that stays in the record book.
The Colombia fans are however happy about the result and are proud of the fact that the team was desperate which made them played with enormous zeal and passion which in the end got them the excellent result they desired on Thursday against the Nigerian side.
