Super Eagles Assure Nigerians Of Victory
Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has voiced his optimism of his team securing victory in today's Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier against the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde.
Nigeria tops Group C with 12 points, while Cape Verde is second with 10 points.
Gernot Rohr has already handed instructions to the players to go all out against the Sharks today at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
He said the Eagles need to redeem their image that was battered by the Central African Republic CAR in Lagos.
Speaking in a pre-match press conference yesterday at the Eko Hotel camp of the Super Eagles, Rohr said the Cape Verdeans are hungry and desperate for a win in order to qualify for the play-off. The Super Eagles need just a draw to advance.
Recalling the lessons learnt in the encounter against CAR in Lagos, where the Super Eagles were booed by the Lagos crowd, Rohr said: "We won't take it easy with Cape Verde because we are hungry to mend fences with the Lagos fans. We are eager to prove to them that we can do it. We have to be strong mentally, and we have the players who can score, make assists and defend well. We know we can do it."
The game will be played at the Teslim Balogun stadium in Lagos, kick-off time is 5:00 PM WAT.
