Olofinjana,Ogbeche Join Eagles Nwosu tasks Nigeria against Algeria By Wale Ajimotokan The arrival of Seyi Olofinjana and Batholomew Ogbeche has brought the number of players in the Super Eagles camp for tomorrow�s World Cup qualifier against Algeria to 22 even as former Nigerian captain Henry Nwosu asked the Eagles to go for broke against the Desert Warriors. Olofinjana and Ogbeche, according to the spokesman of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA), Samuel Kaalu arrived on Wednesday and participated in yesterday�s training sessions. "The coaches now have a full set of players in camp to make use of for Saturday�s World Cup qualifier.We are hoping that the this renewed optimism on the part of the players will translate into result against Algeria.�Kaalu said With particular reference to Ogbeche of Bastia his return to the national team after he missed the last game against Angola in Luanda will more than anything give concern to coach Christian Chukwu in picking his starting team against Algeria. Ogbeche, who scored two goals against the Republic of Ireland in his post Korea /Japan 2002 return match will contend for starting shirts with the likes of Obafemi Martins Julius Aghahowa and Yakubu Aiyegbeni. With unlimited passion looming in the horizon for the crucial Group 4 tie against the Desert Warriors Imo State FA Chairman Nwosu in a phone conversation with THISDAYSports from Owerri warned the Eagles that after the setback against Angola in Luanda Nigeria could not afford to miss the World Cup party in 2006. Nwosu a veteran of several confrontations with the north Africans in the past tasked the Eagles to play as a team in the all important encounter. The former Akwa United chief coach discribed Algeria as a tough customer which Nigeria could not afford to underrate "Even though our preparation was shoddy before we left for Luanda our midfield let us down against Angola. We can only forge ahead if we field our best players while the players must learn to play as a team. We can only qualify for Germany 2006 if there is a change of attitude on Who Are We ? | About THISDAYOnLine.com | THISDAY People | Contact Us © Copyright 2000 Leaders & Company Limited
