Samson Siasia To Scour Europe For Fresh Dream Team Invitees

Nigeria Under 23s coach Samson Siasia has made the goalkeeper, defenders and attackers the scapegoats for the Dream Team’s failure to qualify for the final of the football event at the All - Africa Games following their 3 - 1 loss to Burkina Faso on Tuesday.

And the ex Nantes striker is traveling immediately after the Games, possibly to Europe, to run the rule over some players he plans to hand call - ups for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.

“We will make corrections after the All-Africa Games. I plan to travel to talk to some players I have already penciled down, then hopefully, the team should be assembling in first week of October to prepare for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.

“Certainly, some of the players I brought to Congo Brazzaville will have to give way,” Samson Siasia said.

The Dream Team will play Congo in the bronze medal game on Thursday, starting from 1500 hours Nigerian time.
