Former coach of Nigeria’s women national team Eucharia Uche has called for an overhauling of the Super Falcons team in favour of a much younger set of players not because the old legs are not good enough but because the younger legs are hungrier to play and are able to give more.
Uche speaking in a chat with www.brila.net while assessing the Falcons team world cup sojourn that came to another disappointing end with a 3-0 defeat to Germany over the weekend said the Old players have given their best but it is time to allow for more younger players in the team which is the next way forward after this less than impressive showing.
“Nobody will say the old players are not good, they have done their best, some of them have paid their dues, world cup is four years affair, for a lady to feature in 3 world cups and beyond I think it will be telling on her, so I think it’s time from the next world cup and even the AYC, the team should have younger players.
All these people have given their best to the national team and it’s time to look for the younger ones.”
