The Nigeria Football Federation
president Amaju Pinnick says he
believes Super Eagles will come out
victorious in the first leg must win
clash against the Pharaohs of Egypt
in Kaduna this weekend.

There is a high air of optimism in
the Eagles’ camp and the NFF
supremo feels English premier
league trio Alex Iwobi, Odion Ighalo
and Mikel Obi will help Nigeria
defeat Egypt, a fact even the
Egyptians know.



“Our boys are in the best form
for the Egypt game, and if they
reproduces such form in Kaduna
on Friday, goals will rain against
the visitors. Already, some of the
players have called to reassure us
that they would show no mercy
against Egypt and I believe them.

We are not taking any chances
against the Pharaohs,” Pinnick
states in chat with 9iceunity.com.

“With the form of Iwobi , Mikel,
Odion and other players in
England and other leagues of
Europe, Egypt know they are in
real trouble and will not escape
defeat in Kaduna. What we are
praying for is that our foreign
based players give the game their
best and win the first leg before
going for the final kill in the
second leg duel, They (Egypt),
might also boast of the form of
Salah and Elneny, but we have
better quality players whose
experience will get us this much
needed victory. The boys are self
motivated to beating the
Pharaohs and the NFF on our part
will give them all the necessary
support and logistics to win.”
