Former
international Yisa Sofoluwe has described Flying Eagles surprise ouster from
Zambia 2017 as a bitter lesson that confirms that football has gone beyond
permutations. He wondered how many
people envisaged that the team will crumble at home after achieving a vital 2-1
away win.
The
misfortune he further noted is not unconnected with our usual loss of
concentration and tendency to play to the gallery when it matters most.
"This definitely is a bitter lesson that confirms that anything can happen
in football. It is a 90 minutes game and
until the final whistle you don't lose focus," he said
The former
Super Eagles dean of defence warned that even qualification for 2018 World cup
could hit the rocks if distractions currently taking the stage at the Glass
House are not quickly resolved to get the national team on track.
"We are
out of Gabon 2017, out of Zambia 2017 and now left with World Cup 2018 and you
need to focus early to stand a chance in that one, unfortunately current
distractions over coaching crew are also indications that we may also gamble
with that,” he submitted.
