Pa Michael Obi, father of Chelsea star, Mikel, has said that Nigeria lacked the attacking bite in their first round match with Iran on Monday.Nigeria and Iran settled for a goalless draw in the game that has drawn a lot of talks from fans all over the worldPa Obi, speaking in an interview with our correspondent in Jos after Nigeria’s poor performance against the less fancied Iran, said that the players should also add more stamina in their play to be able to outplay their next opponent.He said that the only attacker up front, Victor Moses, failed to make use of several thrusts made to him from the midfield, adding that the game only made sense when Osaze  was introduced into the match.Pa Obi said, “Nigeria needs more of stamina and attack up front if we hope to advance from this stage. I envisaged a problem when we had only one attacker upfront and he failed to make use of the many thrusts given to him from the midfield. You can see that there was a change in the play when Osaze Odemwingie was introduced.“However there is a ray of hope that we will advance from this stage and that is only and only if we put more attacking spirit into the game,” he added.Nigeria plays Bosnia Herzegovina on Saturday in a match that has been described as a must win for the Eagles.
