President Pinnick thinks we play "Blind Football"...

Before you ask yourself what the heck he's saying, I suggest you hear him out.

Now the president of 9ja's football governing body Amaju Pinnick in an interview with newsmen described the football played in the country as blind.

The NFF boss said the board is looking to train some 17 coaches on how to read games from the bench.
Training is likely to be done in England, and should commence in January.

Quoting him..

"We want to improve our technicality especially from the bench. In January we want to send 17 individuals, Coaches and ex-international to England to study back-room analysis or match-reading.”
” We don’t have a match-reader in this country and it affects our game. When we play football we do so blindly. A match-reader does the analysis of the team, he tells your you the pace, fitness level and style of play of any particular player.”
” The match reader equally chronicles the game and we want to build at least 50 of them in Nigeria,”
