Siasia picks 21 players to tackle Tunisia’s U-23 team

Coach of the Nigeria National U-23 Men’s football team, Samson Siasia has selected 21 players that will tackle the Tunisia’s U-23 Men’s team in a two legged encounter in Tunis and another batch of 35 players to take part in the forth coming Super-6, a pre-season tournament scheduled for this weekend in Abuja.

Speaking to the players before releasing the list, Coach Siasia said the players were chosen based on their performance, emphasising that none of the two teams is first or second.

He told them that both teams were one and the same and as such the players should not go home feeling comfortable that they have been selected.

“The technical crew and I have selected the two teams so as to present strong teams in both competitions so that we will not be disgraced, so all you guys need to do is, go out there and show the world what you have to offer, as that is the only way you can finally make this team”
