The former Eagles coach was part of the Nigerian delegation that
flew from Lagos to Sao Paulo, and will be in attendance for Iran clash
at Arena da Baixada.
“In a way, the match against Iran is very, very important. Not
only is it our first match, which will give a good idea of our readiness
to do well in the tournament, it will also present us opportunity to
quickly pocket three points and look to add to that in our second match
against Bosnia-Herzegovina," said Amodu
“I have not had opportunity of being very close to the team
recently but I know Keshi has been working very hard and he knows the
boys very well and knows the combination that will give him victory. I
am optimistic,”
Although Amodu said the Eagles should change their approach, as many teams know they prefer to attack a lot.
“Many teams now know that we are an attacking team, so they lie
in wait for us to come at them, and those that have fast –paced
midfielders and forwards then come at us hard on the counter, when we
lose the ball.
“I think that, sometimes, we should also lie in wait for other
teams and then try to win the ball and shock them with fast runs. We
have fast –paced forwards like Ahmed Musa and Victor Moses who can make
this work.”
