The Super Eagles are not making the mistake of thinking too much about the confrontation with Bafana Bafana from South Africa in Bloemfontein on Tuesday, but they are quite focused on their clash with the Rwanda Amavubi in Uyo on Saturday, according to the captain of the William Ekong team.
“You take one step at a time. We have Rwanda to play on Saturday, and there are three points there. After that it is concluded, then we begin to think of South Africa. There are also three points there when we play in Bloemfontein, but that is a few days after Rwanda. Rwanda comes first,” said Ekong.
Nigeria has not had a campaign to scream, especially in the first four games of which none won, but Ekong said the team has committed to take all the points in the remaining games, believing that it will be good enough to send Nigeria to the finals of 48 nations in North America next summer.
“We will do our best to do everything possible and win the remaining four games. Hopefully, that will be good enough to take us there.”
The meeting with Rwanda, who lost the first day 5 that brought both teams to Loggerheads in Kigali in March, is a fixed element of day 7, while confrontation with South Africa is a meeting of day 8.
During the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals in France, the Super Eagles focused on a possible combat clash of the tournament with Brazil in the quarterfinals, and did not focus on their 16 -draw with Denmark.
After a 4-1 blow from Nigeria in the game, Asmarino Asador Brian Laudrup said at the conference after the game: “Nigeria should learn to tell one before four.”
The Nigeria camp reached full capacity on Wednesday night, with the arrivals of midfielders Raphael Onyediedika and Christantus Uche, and striker Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze and Tolu Arokodare.
