Biffo Makes Case For Home Players For Super Eagles
...
Former Kwara United Coach, Abdullahi Biffo has advised the national teams selector to always consider the home based players in their selection, to give confidence to the League players, and improve the quality of the League.
The Well experienced Nigeria league gaffer, who is currently based in Florida USA appealed to Super Eagles technical crew, to always look inward and patronize Nigeria League players as a way of solving the present problem of the Super Eagles.
Quoting his words, the former Katsina United tactician said "We still have many good and quality players in the league that can deliver if given the chance to showcase their talents, It's very sad, we don't give them the required attention, (what will are looking for in Sokoto is currently in our Shokoto)"
"What we need now is to bring them together from different teams, from the leagues and give them confidence with sound technical trainings and gradually we are good to go. We have done it in the past with coach Stephen Keshi, Amodu Shuaibu and other indigenous coaches and we can still do it again if truly we love this country"
Continuing, Biffo said "my perspective is from professional aspect, I am a certified coach, who rise from grassroot coaching to the Apex league in Nigeria, I know our players and I have worked with most of them which I believe they can fill in the gaps and solve the National Team problem"
"I started as a footballer, but injuries cut off my dreams, which forced me to join the referees council, before I later went for coaching course"
"I love contributing to mankind and I believe, being a coach will help me a lot to help other talented players to grow, which I have achieved as a qualified coach. I see myself as a successful Coach and I believe I have contributed to the success of Nigerian Football, from grassroot to National teams. I decided to pick a rest in Florida, USA with an academy because, I believe I have paid my dues and I need to move on with other aspects of coaching to gather more experienceI. n fairness we need to change our orientation."
