Flying Eagles head coach, Ladan Bosso attributed his team’s early ouster from the African Games 2023 to inadequate preparation.
Bosso’s side exited the men’s football event on Friday night following a 3-2 defeat to Senegal.
The Flying Eagles finished in third position in Group B with three points from three games.
“I’m disappointed because this game was the best we have played so far in this tournament,” he said during his interaction with the media.
“I didn’t have enough time to scout for players and what I did was to watch few games in Uyo and other places.
“That’s where I saw the two Enyimba players, Daga and Chibueze ”
Bosso emphasized the need to prepare adequately for future competitions.
“The lesson is that we need to prepare very well for future tournaments,”he added.
“The idea of preparing for a tournament in 13 days is really not the best
“But we can take positives from the fact that some players in this squad can be nurtured for the future and possibly play for the national team.
“We tried to improve from match to match. The game we played against Senegal was probably our best game of the tournament so far but it’s just unfortunate that we lost.”
