Abuja \u2013 The Super Eagles Chief Coach Samson Siasia has said that the team\u2019s 4-0 win over Ethiopia\u2019s Walyas Antelopes, Sunday in Abuja is an indication that the team could only get better.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Eagles beat the Ethiopians in a 2012 African Nations Cup qualifying match at the Abuja National Stadium.<\/p>\n

Two goals each from Peter Utaka (35 seconds and 54th minute) and substitute Ikechukwu Uche (79th and 90th minutes) were enough to cage the struggling Ethiopians who became physical from frustration, earning them three bookings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Speaking at the post-match conference, Siasia said his team did all that was necessary in the game and expressed confidence that the players had the potential to do better in subsequent games.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe boys did very well, and since the bottom line is winning, it has been a nice day\u2019s job. Moreover, we scored four goals, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cFrom my assessment, as long as we keep doing what we are doing, what I foresee is we can only get better and when we meet another team it will be a different ball game,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

*Siasia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0The coach, however, praised the contributions of players like Mikel Obi and Victor Anichebe, saying they kept to pre-match instructions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI am satisfied with Anichebe as he played to instructions, and his substitution for Osaze Odemwingie in the 59th minute was not because I was angry with him or anything.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cMikel also did well, as he helped us to keep possession. In fact, we used more players in the midfield because the idea was to move forward and score goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to maintain such playing philosophy in the future,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Speaking also on the match, team captain Joseph Yobo said he and his teammates were not going to bother about their performance in the game.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe most important thing for us now is winning, nothing else matters. I can only assure Nigerians that we are going to take all our matches seriously,\u2019\u2019 he said<\/p>\n
