Ex Super Eagles defender, Eguavoen charges team to beat Italy
Posted : 24 May 2023
The former Super Eagles defender and current Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, Augustine Eguavoen has charged the Flying Eagles to grind out a win against Italy.
He noted that the manner in which the Flying Eagles set up on Wednesday, and the level of concentration and adherence to game-plan, would matter a lot.
"The Italians are a good side but nothing is given in football until a match is played and ends. It is about the set-up, about the structure of your team and how much you bring to bear what you have noticed about the other team.
"I’m happy our coaches saw the Italians play the Brazilians and it is now left for us all to put our heads together and devise a winning plan," he said.
Nigeria and Italy tango at the Estadio Malvinas Argentina as from 3pm local time (7pm Nigeria time) on Wednesday.
The Italians top Group D ahead of the Flying Eagles only as a result of having scored more goals, and the race to the Round of 16 is already fierce with Brazil most likely to edge the Dominican Republic in the other match of the pool on Wednesday evening.
