First half:1-0
Nigeria fighting but are poorly spaced at the back . 6 men on the left back half side whenever the Germans are attacking. They need to move more men into the attacking midfield. Spread players onto the wings.
The Germans on the other hand are stringing many passes together. They are getting alot of clean passes.
Final 2:0. Nigeria go home. They spent the 2nd half chasing after the ball. Poor passing. Hardly a pass to a 3rd man.
Poor match fitness. Only Obi looked like someone who uses a gym regularly.
Poor tactics if any by the coach.
Sad thing is technically player by player , they are a lot better than the Germans.
Yeah very creative. Nice attacking style.
Many players like him kwa mtaa. We need to develop our youth programs. Germany has spend a lot in the last 6 - 10 years.
I watched the match. Nigeria are a good side, I saw that in their previous game but Germany are on another level. Same thing when a team like Man U plays Bournemouth, they look like the invicibles but let them play Barca unaeza dhania ni watu hawajawai guza mpira. Germany were too good
Nigeria looked out of sorts. No game plan. Nigeria could not put a pass to a third man all game. One pass and loss. They were poorly spaced. They should have covered the sides and forced Germany to come through the center where they are stronger physically. And faster. It would also put nigerian midfielders and wingers man on man against the German defense. Watch a replay of last World Cup Ghana vs Germany and see this.
You simply don’t get 11 of your best and throw them into a game. They need a game plan. The Germans clearly had one.
