Siasia eyes Olympic soccer gold

Coach of the National U-23 Team, Dream Team VI, Samson Siasia, says he is optimistic that Nigeria will win the Rio 2016 Olympics football.
Siasia said this on Monday shortly on arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Dream Team VI defeated their Algerian counterpart 2-1 in Saturday’s final of the CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Senegal to win the trophy.
“I am looking forward to what we can achieve in Rio. We were there in 2008 and we got to the finals.

“If we start on time with our preparations, we might be able to do something,” he said.
Siasia advised the players to remain focused and try not to allow the victory to get into their heads.
“I want the boys to be hardworking and remain disciplined, just as they did during the Africa Cup of Nations,” he said.
Siasia expressed joy that Nigeria won the cup, adding: “I thank Nigerians for their prayers and support for the team.”
