Rio Olympics: I Already Picked My Three Overage Players- Siasia

Nigeria U23 head coach, Samson Siasia, has revealed that he already made his choice of three overage players to include in his team for this summer's Rio Olympics in Brazil.

Siasia, who led the Dream Team to win silver in the 2008 edition saw his men being grouped in

Group B alongside Sweden, Japan and Colombia, and added that he will be gunning for the gold medal this time around.

He further explained that every country that qualified paid the price to get to the finals, but insisted that his side will progress from the group stage.

"I already have in mind the three over aged players that I intend using at the Games," Siasia said. 

"But I will not disclose their names for now as I think it's still too early to do so. For me, there is no good or bad draw, for all the teams played qualifiers to get here," the former Super Eagles coach admitted.

"Besides, the Group B that we are in has two continental champions alongside Nigeria, so I don't expect it to be a stroll in the park for us, but with quality preparations I am sure we will pick one of the tickets from this group. 

"My target in Rio is to pick the gold medal having won the silver medal in Beijing in 2008, so when I get back to Nigeria, I will put heads together with my assistants to work out our preparations for the Games. 

As Nigeria kick off their 2016 Olympic Games men's football campaign against Japan on August 4 at the 41,000-seater Arena da Amazonia, who do you think the former U20 coach would include in his team???
