Kadiri Ikhana wants improved Super Eagles midfield against Serbia
Former African Coach of the Year Kadiri Ikhana has said he looks forward to seeing an improved midfield from the Super Eagles when they take on three time African champions clash with Serbia Tuesday in London.
The London showpiece is one of the Grade A friendly games lined up for the Russia 2018 World Cup-bound Super Eagles by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
On Friday, the Super Eagles upset Poland 1-0 in Wroclaw, Poland.
The Gernot Rohrās men are up against another top European challenge tonight.
āI believe the team should be better than what they did against Polandā, the 1980 AFCON title winner with then Green Eagles opened up.
He gave the emerging team kudos for winning the game against Poland but picked holes in the midfield department.
āAgainst Poland, the midfield without Mikel Obi was not fluent.
āThat created a gap between the midfield and the attack.
āIt also laid open our back line and left the defenders to do extra work.
āBut overall, Iām happy we won that game. Earlier, nobody gave us a chance of even a draw but we later won.
āHowever, I must say Victor Moses was the only creative player in the team that played against Poland.
āThat was probably because Mikel was not available.ā
