Coach John Obuh talking to NPFL Players

Former Junior National team handler John Sam Obu has ruled out the possibility of any home based playing making the Super Eagles team for now.

Obu who spoke on FCT Football Update WhatsApp platform, said though there are very good players in the NPFL, that can play effectively in the Super Eagles, but such players can not displace those already in the team.

The former Enyimba and Udoji United player said "  It's wrong for anybody to say that we don't have good players in NPFL that can fit into the Super Eagles. 

" We have such players, but the problem is that such players can not displace those already in team, and established. For them to be able to do that, they need to be groomed for some time. It is not an immediate thing".

Obu bemoaned the condition of coaching in Nigeria, describing it as pathetic. " We don't have coaching materials and equipment here. What you can always find in any team are balls, goal post, net, cones nothing more. You can never find electronic tactical boards and other scientific technical materials for coaches. 

" When I went for a course in Germany, I was given an electronic tactical board to demonstrate something, I could not operate it. I'm also sure that many of my colleagues at home cannot operate it also. 

" Some may not have seen it before. These are important materials that aid the coaches in doing their job and enhancing the performance of the players. But here at home, we have experience and intelligent coaches, what they do is to improvise every materials they use in their performing their jobs".

He advised the various team managers to provide the modern coaching materials for the coaches to aid their jobs. He finally advised the coaches to be open to new knowledge, accept criticisms, accept challenges, accept their faults and always draw a demarcation of those things that will affect their integrity.
