Former Nigeria’s goalkeeper and trainer, Ike Shorunmu has advised the Super Eagles to be more tactically organised when they play Iceland on Friday.
He urged them to be aggressive right from the start to pick all three points.
“Eagles need to go all out and give everything they have to win Iceland. They should understand that good tactical approach and resilience would make them win the encounter.
“The Eagles team has quality players that can deliver, they have to realise that wining Iceland will give them advantage to qualify for the second round of the World Cup.
“The Eagles should fight like wounded Lions and go for goals against Iceland. I believe Nigerians are totally behind the team to succeed,” he told Guardian.
Shorunmu, however, backed first choice goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, saying he is doing well.
“Uzoho did not make any mistake in the first game against Croatia. I don’t understand why some people are blaming him after the first group game.
“You can’t expect Uzoho or any other keeper in the Super Eagles team to be as effective as Vincent Enyeama and Carl Ikeme within a short period of time.
“The two keepers developed with time. Uzoho is young; he needs more game to grow. For me he did a good Job against Croatia,” Shorunmu added.
