Malaga As Super Eagles'Camp For Nations Cup Preparations

The Super Eagles coach,Berti Vogts, has chosen the camp of his team in their preparation for the Ghana 2008 Nations Cup, to be Malaga in Portugal.

Is it not baffling that a town in Europe (with the coldness of the weather) is considered to be the right place to assemble the team that would play all of their matches in a very hot West African heat in January 2008?

This is curious indeed.

It is wrong, is does not make any sense to me how the leader of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) could allow that kind of place for the Eagles to camp in.

Cameroon, our traditional rivals, decided to camp in Africa.Ghana too are doing the same.

Why do we always get it wrong?
Why don't we use the services of the people who are knowledgable about these things?

Are our doctors who have the knowledge of Physiology not there for the use of the NFA?
Did the NFA consult them?

Is it right to train your players in a cold environment for a tournament that would hold in a hot environment?

Why did we keep our knowledge of altitude? Or don't we havew it at all?

This beginning is wrong and l must say so.

We should get our acts right.We need to!
