AFCON: Egypt must fall – Oliseh
Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has said he does not expect his team to play beautiful football when Nigeria hosts Egypt in a crucial African Nations Cup qualifier next month, but still expects victory over the North Africans.
The two super powers of African football will clash in Nigerian town of Kaduna on March 25, africanFootball.com reports.
A home win will lift Nigeria above the Pharaohs in the race for the automatic ticket to next year AFCON in Gabon.
“It may not be beautiful, but we must win,” africanFootball.com quoted Oliseh as saying on next month’s encounter.
“We can carry the day, if we play at the level they can play and with the support of the fans.”
The coach added that he expects to open training camp with players from the domestic league at least two weeks to the AFCON qualifier.
