Following the Flying Eagles defeat to Ghana at the

Ogbuke has advised the team to keep their head up.
The Flying Eagles are on the verge of been eliminated from the
championship after playing a 1-1 draw with Cote d’Ivoire in the
group B opener on Sunday before losing 0-1 to the Black Satellites
of Ghana on Wednesday.
The defeat means, Ladan Bosso tutored side will have to wait for
the result of the next Group match between Ghana and Ivory Coast to
know their fate.
In a chat with brila.net from his base in Austria, Obasi who
also made a name for himself playing for Nigeria at the same level
admitted the Flying Eagles are in difficult situations, but it’s
important for them to keep believing and hope for the best.
“You don’t know what is going on in their mind in this kind of
situations and I don’t think any footballer go into a game to lose,
but all I can say is that they should keep their head up and
continue working hard because, in every loss, there is always a
lesson to learn.” He told brila.net.

“They have to reflect and see what they did wrong and what they
can improve on because there is always another chance, but it is
difficult when you have to leave it for another team to decide.
”
“As it is, it’s not in their hand anymore, all they can just do
is hope and I wish them all the best. ” Obasi concluded.
