Oliseh has said coach Stephen Keshi, should be blamed for Nigeria’s
failure to progress for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial
Guinea.
The former Super Eagles captain pointed out Keshi’s
constant tinkering with his line-ups, as the reason why his men could
not play as a team.
“The uncoordinated way in which Super
Eagles play, which triggered our recent elimination, is borne out of the
fact that there were too much line-up changes,” he wrote on his blog.
“When
you lack ‘raw’ quality in your team, you advocate and build success via
team work, team play and a regular team to compensate for what you lack
in individual quality.”Oliseh also ridiculed the mindset that anyone who criticizes Keshi’s methods, is trying to replace him as coach of the team.
“It
is a crime to air your opinion, give advice or suggestions on how to
better the Super Eagles without the handlers throwing insults at you or
crying out that you seek their job,” he added.
“They
probably do this because they got the job by back stabbing; hence they
fail to understand that not everyone needs or wants to coach the Super
Eagles.”The former Juventus player, who is also a
licensed UEFA grade A coach, took more jabs at the Big Boss and his
technical crew, stating that they don’t have proper qualifications to
lead a major team.
“Most of us played football as kids, we
all have an opinion or idea about football. This, however, leads some to
think they are experts. This is not only wrong, but dangerous,” he continued.
“Should you want to be a top coach, you have to study and get yourself certified and even then you are not guaranteed success.
“Spain’s
Football Federation recently banned Real Madrid’s second-team coach,
Zinedine Zidane, from coaching because he doesn’t have the right
qualifications.
“If they can ban such a legend from coaching the
second division, why should we hand over our national teams and first
division clubs to people who just attended two-week seminars and pretend
to be qualified?”
