Siasia said the determination and concentration level of the entire team was commendable
The former Eagles boss also offered this advice for Mikel: “There is no doubting the fact that Mikel is a talented footballer, who has the quality to be a super star in football but he must continue to work hard and try as much as possible to join the attack
“As regards the national team recall, let him (Osaze) get a club
first. He has to get a club before we can start talking of bringing
him back to the Eagles’ fold
Siasia told sports reporters in Abuja Monday that there was a publication on nairaland.com that impersonated his soccer academy’s name, Sia-One
Siasia believed that Oliha’s sterling performance in 1994 assisted the Super Eagles win some important matches, stressing that his demise came as a surprise after losing former teammates, Rashidi Yekini and Uche Okafor, to the cold hands of death
“He disclosed recently to me that one of his greatest wishes for now is to see the Super Eagles qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and he is ready to do anything that will make that dream come true.”
Siasia, however, threw his weight behind the DG NSC
‘This made some of the ex-internationals like the Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi; ex-Eagles handler, Samson Siasia; Peter Rufai; Taribo West; Austin Okocha; and Kanu Nwankwo to come together to say just as they honour former South Africa President, Dr. Nelson Mandela, with the Mandela Cup, they decided to do something like this for Chief Edwin Clark who has been there for all of us’
When squeezed for his reaction on the matter, Siasia, who has just been appointed as the Director of Football Development in Bayelsa State, said the situation is injurious to the aspirations of the team to qualify for the 2014 Mundial since Keshi needs the full backing of the NFF and a healthy relationship to be able to actualize his dreams of qualifying the nation for the Brazil 2014 World Cup
