A former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Aminu Maigari, has called on Nigerians to rally round interim Head Coach Samson Siasia and the Super Eagles to ensure the defeat of Egypt in Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna..
Maigari who expressed confidence in Siasia's technical ability said that the team needed the support and prayers of all Nigerian football fans.
“It is going to be a very tough encounter as the Egyptians are desperate to make a return to the AFCON after missing the last three, but Nigeria are also desirous of being in Gabon after missing out at the last edition in Equatorial Guinea and will not compromise victory in this first leg tie in Kaduna,” he said in a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com.
“My advise to Siasia is to select players who are ready to fight all through the game whether they are foreign based or home boys. He should remove sentiment in team selection and must get his tactics right to beat Egypt. They will come with all kinds of antics to frustrate the Super Eagles and get a result in the first leg,” he said.
Maigari called on Nigerians to pray for the Super Eagles to excel in the two-legged qualifier, while charging the players to double their efforts and defeat Egypt in the first leg and go all out in the second leg in Alexandria next week.
