Samson Siasia, has
admitted that he has to work on his defensive setup,
ahead of their quarter-final fixture against Denmark.
The Dream Team VI, who qualified as group winners,
will take on the Europeans for a place in the final four
on Saturday by 8pm Nigerian time.
Ahead of the game, Siasia is keen to fix lapses in
defence, which has seen his team concede six times in
just three games.
He said: “Going into the knockout stage, that’s a
different ball game. If you lose, you go home, so all
those mistakes we have been making mostly in the
backline have to be corrected. We didn’t do a good job
on the Colombian forwards. We really have to work
harder on our defending.
“In the first half, we had a couple of good chances and
Etebo had a very good one that he should have scored.
But one good thing about him is that he always puts
himself in good positions. He didn’t score today; that’s
football. Hopefully, in the next game, we can convert
our chances and defend better.”
