The head coach of the Nigeria senior team Eric Chelle did not do justice for the balance of the team on his list of 23 players summoned for the World Cup classifying games against Lesotho and Benin Republic, respectively, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.
Chelle chose three goalkeepers, seven defenders, four midfielders and nine strikers that include five central striker Victor Osimhen, Cyriel Dessers, Jerome Akor, Terem Moffi and Tolu Arokodare.
The five players are mainly central front, which means that none can play behind the main man in the attack of two preferred Chelle men. Surprisingly, he also summoned only four midfielders at Ahassan Yusuf, Frank Onyaka, Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi. You can only say that Iwobi is an attacker midfielder who can create opportunities for the strikers.
The Malian who completely knows that his team needs to win both games to have an opportunity to arrive at the World Cup has taken a bet to go to goals at the expense of the squad balance.
His idea is to obtain enough goals to help the goal difference of the equipment that will finally be used as a switch, but it is difficult to ignore the fact that in games like this where the defeat is not an option that has a equilibrium squad is essential.
