Amokachi: Eagles need to keep improving

Super Eagles stand-in coach, Daniel Amokachi, said the team
must keep improving following its decent showing in the 0-1
loss to the Elephants of Cote D’ Ivoire in an international
friendly in the United Arab Emirates.
The second string Super Eagles team, largely dominated by
home-based players, held its more illustrious and revered
Ivoirian counterpart until the 84th minute, when former
Chelsea forward, Salomon Kalou, came off the bench to score
what proved to be the winner.
And Amokachi, who took charge of the team in the absence of
Stephen Keshi, said the players had learnt a thing or two from
the loss, and must keep improving.
“The players gave their best but like I have been saying, we
must also remember that these are players that have been off
season for over two months and they are just only trying to
get some fitness.
“We have to keep improving after this game and focus on the
next. The good thing is that we have some days before the
next game and we must use those days to make sure we get
better.
“These are young players and they are willing to learn and
that is the good thing, so we must work with them to help
them get better. If they get better, it is not to my glory but to
the glory of Nigeria,” he stressed.
