Barely one month to the AFCON 2017 clash between Nigeria's Super Eagles and the Pharaohs of Egypt, President General of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club, Dr.Rafiu Ladipo has said that Super Eagles manager, Sunday Oliseh and his crew can’t afford to fail the country.
Ladipo said that Oliseh must scale the Pharoahs of Egypt hurdle.
He warned that continuing to dwell on the insults the coach gave to Nigerians would only distract the team.
Speaking ahead of the encounters slated for Kaduna and Cairo, Dr. Ladipo called on Nigerians to unite and support the Super Eagles to overcome Egypt.
“We all felt insulted by the ranting of our coach but he should realise that no coach goes without criticisms. Nigerians are passionate about football and are free to air their opinions. As a coach all he needed do is to sieve useful information from all of it and make the best out of it.
“Nigeria has seen coaches before him and they were all criticized. He should also realise that as a player, many supported him and even when he was appointed, he was hailed but when he is not doing well, people will voice out. No one expected that Nigeria will lose out at the preliminary stage of CHAN.
“However, I am glad he realised his mistakes and apologised to Nigerians. I believe we can beat Egypt in Kaduna and pick a draw in Cairo. Nigerians should come out enmass and support the Eagles in Kaduna for us to record a win so as to make the second leg easier.”
Oliseh is expected to appear before the technical committee of the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF on February 26 to defend his team list for the match against Egypt in Kaduna on March 25.
