… As Babayaro tasks Dream Team VI coach on teamselection

Former Nigeria defender, Celestine Babayaro, has charged
Dream Team VI coach, Samson Siasia, to ensure only the best
players are selected, as the team enters the last phase of
preparations for the 2015 All Africa Games.
Babayaro, who was a member of Nigeria’s Dream Team I, that
won Nigeria and Africa’s first football gold at an Olympics,
said Siasia must shun bias, if he is to select the best players
that would represent Nigeria at this level.
“He must select the best players that can represent us at the
level without being bias, and he must shun favoritism.
“It doesn’t matter where a player is coming from, but it
should be about what such player can do,” he said to Brila
FM.
And speaking about February’s All Africa Games qualifier
against Gabon, Babayaro advised Siasia to respect the
Gabonese, but insisted that only the best players must be
selected.
“The Gabonese are very good and he must know that, and
that will be my advice to him. He must know the kind of
players he should invite, but I trust him to do the right thing,”
Babayaro reckoned.
The Dream Team VI is currently training in Abuja, and has a
few friendly games lined up for it before it embarks on the All
Africa Games qualifiers.
