Board member of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF
and Chairman on publicity matter, Emeka Inyama said the Super Eagles failed to
win the match against the Harambee Star of Kenya last Saturday because they
failed to prepare.
Inyama , who made the claims at the NFF secretariat
yesterday, said the match against Kenya is an eye-opener and a lesson for the
players, officials and the board members. He noted that there are no more minnows
in football.
According to him, “The result of the match was a
lesson for the Super Eagles players, officials and even the NFF. It confirms the
belief in football that if you don’t prepare to win, you prepare to fail. So it
is a welcome up call to the team and to everybody. Today’s football, there are
no more minnows, Cape Verde showed it, Burkina-Faso showed it, so what else are
we talking about?”
On whether unpaid allowance was responsible for
their lackluster display, he claimed that allowances don’t play football. “Allowances
don’t play on the pitch, so I don’t know how that will affect the players.

“With the kinds of money these boys have made within
this period, I don’t expect them to be talking about money. There is no
timeline that the money was paid, they have been paid. The money they made is
not up to what they make in their clubsides, so money was not responsible for
their flops.”
He further claimed that fatigue was not responsible
for their inability to beat Kenya in Calabar, Cross River. “They have been
playing for their clubs, they have been scoring goals, so fatigue is not
responsible.”
