The National Technical Director, Coach Shaibu Amodu, has called on Nigerians not to put too much pressure on the present Super Eagles, saying most of the players are just coming into the team and need time to fully grow.
Amodu said: “Let us be careful not to put too much pressure on the players.
“Apart from goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and John Mikel Obi, the rest are young players who need time to mature into the big time.
“Yes, we all expected them to win tonight against the Namibians.
“But I tell you, the Namibians are a very good side and we can only take some positives away from this match.”
Amodu spoke at the Sam Nujoma Stadium, venue of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between the African champions and the Brave Warriors, which ended 1-1.
