Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia believes preparing for the
African U23 championship in Morocco will be a right step
for his team as they aim to pick a ticket to Rio 2016.
The Dream Team VI will face Egypt, Algeria and Mali in
Group B when Senegal 2015 kicks off on November 28.
“Anything apart from going to Morocco for the camping
exercise will be a big disappointment towards our
preparations,” Siasia told Goal.
“We don’t have a plan B right now. We need to get out of
this place and make sure we go over there and focus very
well and prepare.
“Even though things are not working well as we want it to be
but we have to do the best we can to make sure we qualify
for the 2016 Olympics football tournament. We have to
qualify. We are bound to qualify.
Siasia also revealed that his team still lacks the goal scoring
instinct despite playing quality football but he assured that
area would be improved on before departing for Senegal.
"We are trying to play good football but we still need to
improve. The last game we played in Port Harcourt
everybody excited and very happy about how we played
even though our biggest problem is scoring,” he continued.
“That is the area we need to work on. To bring in new
players will be a difficult job again for us to make sure that
these guys can blend together like we did the last time.
“Hopefully the ones that will come in will try to catch up on
time so that we can play well, not only to play well but to
score goals too,” he concluded.
Nigeria U23 will be recalled failed to qualify for the 2012
Olympics staged in London.
