He however admitted that the positive in the the friendly games is that they helped in discover talents. " It is more important to find good players like Okoye, Sanusi, Ejuke and others in the friendlies. We wish to win absolutely but it is not the most important. The most important is to discover players to fortify our team." "Now, there is possibility to be efficient in our competition games. Of course, Sanusi will be in my list and have chances to play in the two games. We are very optimistic in our next games." Nigeria is topping group L with six points in two games.
