Former Nigeria international, Finidi George believes 2013 will be even more difficult for the Super Eagles \u2018unless we begin to do things in the right way\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea following a disappointing 2-2 draw with Guinea\u2019s Syli Stars in their final qualifying game for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Finidi warned that new coach, Stephen Keshi must begin to put things in perspective, otherwise the Eagles will still follow the path of failure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players and coaches have a big work ahead of them and they have to work really hard to qualify for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would have to work even harder if they are to qualify for the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil because things are not looking rosy,\u201d Finidi said.<\/p>\n

Speaking further on the dwindling performances of the Nigeria senior national team in 2011, Finidi said a lot would have to change for the fortunes of the side to change in 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do hope we qualify for both tournaments but things will continue the way they are unless we begin to do things in the right way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way we go about (organizing) football in this country is not right but I keep my fingers crossed and hope that we qualify for both tournaments,\u201d Finidi said.<\/p>\n

The 40 year old Finidi played for Calabar Rovers, Sharks, Ajax Amsterdam, Real Betis, Mallorca and Ipswich Town.<\/p>\n

He won 62 caps for the Nigeria national team between 1991 and 2002 scoring 6 goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
