The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has urged the Super Eagles to redeem themselves by beating Sierra Leone in Freetown.
The Super Eagles were held to a frustrating 4-4 draw by the Leone Stars at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin despite talking a 4-1 lead at halftime.
According to Pinnick while addressing the Players in the dressing room after the match said “Since I became the President of NFF, this is my worst Loss I have ever seen in my Life.
That Spirit of Competition is not there anymore. If I were the coach there are some people I will not select, because it hurt me a lot”.
He went further to urge the players to go to Sierra Leone and beat them with at least 4 unreplyed goals.
“We need to go to Sierra Leone and beat them 4-0 without any reply. From the start of the whistle to the end of the match”.
The Super Eagles despite the draw on Friday still top the Group with 7points from 3 matches played so far and a win for them in Freetown will see them qualify for AFCON in 2021 which would be held in Cameroon.
