Super Eagles Assistant Coach Alloy Agu Speaks Ahead Sunday’s Game

What Is Your Expectation Like From The Players?

Well, we have been doing the normal thing which we think will help us to realise our dreams just the way we did to win all our matches during the first phase. So, Nigerians should expect the team to pick the maximum points in Maputo. By the special grace of God, we shall win the match and that is what we are looking forward to.

Have You Ruled Out Yobo From The Match?

I cannot say that until Monday or perhaps Tuesday when we have a full squad in camp to assess the players well. But for now, I don’t want to rule anyone out of the tie. For Yobo, there are capable replacements in that department but we are hoping he will be back in the team very soon.

Are You Not Scared With The Performance Of The Mambas In The First Phase Of Qualifiers?

No, there is nothing like scare. All we want to do is to prepare well and expect a good result. If we have the full compliment of our players, we are promising victory and we shall surpass our previous achievements. We know the importance of these matches, so we can’t afford to drop any point in any of the matches.

Sierria Leone never lost a game on their home soil, when we went there, we showed the quality the team is blessed with by picking the maximum points there in FreeTown, so it is possible to win in Maputo. We are not looking down on them but we are going there to get the maximum points in Maputo.

Which Of The Goalkeepers Will You Prefer To Start The Match?

The four goalies invited are all qualified to man the post but we have to wait to receive them all in camp and thereafter choose who will be in goal on Sunday. They are all quality goalkeepers but only one will be in goal at a time.

Why didn’t you consider any home based player for the match?

We have some players we are monitoring but I want you to understand that this is a crucial match and we need to approach it with the players we are already used to. We also have plans to try some of these players in some of the friendly games we are going to play.
