Speaking on the invitation to appear before the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical committee to defend his team list against Guinea, Siasia said: “I have not seen any part of the world, where senior national team coaches appear to defend team list. However, I will only appear before the committee on Tuesday, but as for the unveiling of the list, I don’t really know. Maybe, it will be after the defence,” he noted.
He also took time to shower encomium on Nigerian players who showed blistering form in Europe last weekend, admitting that he was happy to see many of them on the scoring sheet.
On the possibility of the return of the like Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Obafemi Martins to the Eagles fold, Siasia tactically noted that if they would return, it would not be immediate......
“I’m very happy for those that scored. It is good for the country and we have to celebrate their forms. As for their invitation to the Eagles, I think it may not be now,” he noted.
He, however, promised to take up the 2.00pm hostile kick-off timing for the African Nations Cup crucial tie between the Super Eagles and visiting Syli National of Guinea with the Confederation of African Football President, Issa Hayatou.
