Henry Nwosu Reveals Super Eagles' Weakest Link
As Nigeria's Super Eagles continue to prepare for the upcoming 2014 World Cup holding in Brazil, former Nigerian footballer, Henry Nwosu has revealed what he thinks is the Nigerian team weakest link.
According to the ex-Green Eagles player, who was part of the Nigerian team that won the Nations Cup on home soil in 1980, the coach Stephen Keshi led Eagles would need to tidy up their defence if they are to surpass their past achievement at the Mundial in Brazil.
Nwosu stated that Keshi should work more on a solid partnership in the Nigerian back line ahead of the football showpiece which kicks off on 12 June to 13 July in Brazil.

"Having seen most of the players that made the provisional squad in action and watched all Super Eagles recent matches, I think our major problem would be in the defence. Keshi would need to work out cohesion among the defenders if we are to progress beyond the group stage in Brazil," Nwosu said.
He added that Keshi has a plan which Nigerians must allow him to implement.
He stated: "it's a pity that despite the fact that Ikechukwu Uche did well for Villareal in Spain, he was not invited to the team and other strikers like Brown Ideye.
"I'd advise them (players) to take heart but that is not to say that the players we have in camp are not going to give a good account of themselves.Though there's this jittery feeling when attackers take on our defenders so it has to be really taken care of.

"Apart from that, I see a Super Eagles team that is going to blossom in attack although I cannot pre-empt Keshi's formation ahead of the competition."
The team is expected to leave London on Thursday to the US where they would play other scheduled warm up matches before they world cup begins in two weeks time.
Nigeria is in Group E along side Argentina, Iran and Bosnia Herzegovina.
