Former Green Eagles attacker, Chief Segun Odegbami, has predicted a tough outing for the Super Eagles against Uganda in the 2008 Nations Cup qualifier billed for MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta on March 24.

The ex-international expressed deep concern at the poor preparation of the Eagles towards the game, as he told Brila FM that if Super Eagles don’t reposition themselves for that crucial game, they would suffer yet another defeat.

"For me, if any Nigerian thinks that the Super Eagles would have an easy ride over the Cranes of Uganda in the Cup qualifier campaign, billed for March 24 at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta, we had better have a rethink.

"This game is going to be a very tough one for the Super Eagles. If the new technical adviser or whoever is leading the team present the same squad that played the Black Stars of Ghana in that disgraceful outing in London, then we are in for another disaster," he said.

"Personally, I know that we don’t have a team yet in the Super Eagles. The present crops of Super Eagles player as we have them now have lost their form. What we have in the Super Eagles are talented individual players, but when it comes to team work, we are far from it. I think the technical crews have a great work to do here if we are to achieve any positive result.

"It is very important to overhaul the national team now, because at this level, we should be looking beyond the Nations Cup. Some of those bad players who are currently making Eagles list should not be invited this time round. There is need for them to try other players. And Eagles must be together for least two weeks before that match. Because if you watch that game played in London, you will discover that the players were just playing individualistic football.

"Finally, they should beef up our defence because Joseph Yobo and cohort have failed us. The Cranes of Uganda won’t be an easy team to beat. They should remember that whenever any team in the continent wants to play the Super Eagles, the story is always different," he said.
