We Tried, but Iran Denied Us: Onazi

Following an abyssmal perormance form the Super Eagles on Monday June 16, the team will have to step up in order to beat Bosnia and maybe get past Argentina for a second round entry.

In an interview with Goal, Super Eagles and Lazio midfielder said: “It wasn’t a bad game but we know we were supposed to do more.

''We tried to get a goal but it was difficult for us.''

The Super Eagles coach has also bemoaned the result of the game, insisting that the team must improve if they are going to make Nigerians happy.

Monday's performance was the poorest from the Nigerian side in years and the team has put itself in a clumsy situation.

''We’re trying to encourage ourselves and look forward to the next game.

“We apologize for the draw but in the next game we’re going to step up and make sure we get the three points,'' Onazi told Goal.

The team's qualification is so much dependent on their performance against a resilient Bosnian side on Saturday.

Despite the lackadaisical performance against Iran, ''We believe we will qualify for the next round,” Onazi concluded.

Keshi and his boys have to up their ante  by beating Bosnia, otherwise they can kiss the Brazil 2014 World Cup bye bye and disappoint the so many Nigerians that hoped on them for an enjoyable World Cup experience, even the Presidential delegation that made the journey to Brazil.
