Former Nigerian international, Dosu Joseph, has urged the Home-Based Super Eagles to maintain a solid defensive setup as they prepare to take on Sudan in tomorrow’s 2024 African Nations Championship encounter.
Nigeria suffered a narrow defeat to defending champions Senegal in their opening match last week, conceding the decisive goal in the closing stages due to a defensive lapse.
Speaking to Completesports.com, Dosu stressed the importance of learning from that mistake and delivering a composed performance at the back, while also making the most of attacking chances.
“This is a game the Home-Based Eagles must win if they are to progress to the next round of the tournament.
“A win against Sudan will definitely help the confidence of the players.
“But then, the team must avoid making mistakes in the defence. There must be good communication among the defenders, and the strikers must also capitalize on every goal-scoring chance that comes their way.”
