Kaita: Inexperience killed Eagles

The African champions thrashed Tahiti, but lost to Uruguay and Spain and so failed to reach the semi-finals of the tournament in Brazil.
  Kaita saluted the Eagles doggedness, but said had they played more experienced players, they would have gone past the group stage.
“Eagles did their best in Brazil but that was not good enough as the team lacked experience and had it been there were more experienced players, it would have been a different story.
“You can’t rule out experience in football, it counts a lot especially when youthfulness and power have failed.
“There is room for improvement in the team. I can’t tell the coach players to pick, that is his job and I am sure being an experienced man in the game, he knows what to do.”
  Meanwhile, the former Kano Pillars midfielder told MTNFootball.com that he will put his career back on track by joining a team in Germany or Ukraine soon.
Kaita, who left Cyprus team Olympiakos Nicosia for personal reasons, told MTNFootball.com that teams from Germany and Ukraine have shown in interest to sign him.
“I am looking forward to playing for a new club next season. I have offers from teams in Germany and Ukraine, we are talking and I don’t want to reveal their identity until we have agreed,” he offered.
 “I left Olympiakos Nicosia in Cyprus for some personal reasons. I am sure I will play in either Germany or Ukraine next season.”
The defensive midfielder, 27, has played in Holland, France, Russia and Ukraine.
