Samson Siasia has warned Nigeria U23 they cannot make any mistakes in Saturday’s Olympics quarter final game against Denmark if they are to progress in the tournament.
The Dream Team VI bowed 2-0 to Colombia in their last group game and the tactician says there must be improvements else get bounced out.
“Of course when you make too many changes, it won’t work the way you expected,” said Siasia.
“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 put 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.”
