Camping Of Sand Eagles Worries Captain
Captain, Sand Super
Eagles, Isiaka Olawale, has expressed dissatisfaction that the team had yet to be camped in preparation for the forthcoming COPA Lagos International Beach Soccer Tournament.
Olawale told newsmen in Lagos that late preparation could negatively affect the team’s performance.
He said that the team needed to begin preparations urgently to be able to triumph in the competition scheduled to hold from December 13 to16 at the Eko Atlantic Beach, Lagos.
“There is no magic in it; it is either you prepare and win or prepare to fail,” he said.
Olawale appealed to the relevant authorities to ensure early camping of the team.
“It is sad that we are yet to be called to camp
“This was one of the reasons we didn’t win in Casablanca; we didn’t start preparations early enough; that is also why we didn’t qualify for World Cup in Tahiti.
“We are towing the same line,’’ the captain said.
The Sand Super Eagles would be defending their title at the competition.
They won the 2011 and 2012 editions of the tournament.
Senegal, winners of the CAF Beach Soccer Tournament, will be participating at the competition along with Germany and Lebanon.
