Head coach of Nigeria’s U-23 side, Samson Siasia has expressed sadness with the way his team struggle in the second half of their matches.
In the first game against Mali, the Dream Team raced into a three-goal lead, but conceded twice after the break, to record a 3-2 win.
On Wednesday, they threw away a two-goal lead, to draw 2-2 with Egypt.
“We did not play in the second half and we cannot continue like this, if we want to go the Olympics,” Siasia said afterwards.
“We tend to lose concentration in the second half and we have to fix it.
“It was the case in the first match against Mali and the same thing happened against Egypt. It is no longer funny”, he added.
Siasia also admitted that the last group game against Algeria will be a tough one.
“It will be tough battle against Algeria, and we have to be careful about the North Africans, they attack left and right.”
