Title: Obuh Hopes Eagles Avoid Brazil, Spain
Post by: Folami David on Nov 28, 2013, 12:06 AM
Former Flying Eagles coach, John Obuh, has said he does not want the Super Eagles to be paired against World Cup hosts, Brazil and defending champions, Spain during next week's draws for the 2014 FIFA World Cup slated for Brazil.
.
"All the teams that qualified for the finals are tough teams to have made it to Brazil in the first place," Obuh pointed out.
.
"So there's no small or push-overs among them but I believe that it's always difficult playing against host teams in major competitions like this.
.
"And again, Spain are the defending champions and we saw how they played during the FIFA Confederations Cup last June, so Eagles being in the same group may not be the best".
.
Obuh further said the atmosphere in Brazil during next summer's Mundial will be different from what obtained during the Confederations Cup last summer.
.
"The Super Eagles have grown in experience and confidence. There was no Emmanuel Emenike and few others during the Confederations Cup and this time, they will all be on parade.
.
"So we're bound to see a better Super Eagles team in Brazil. The atmosphere will be more intense and only the better prepared side will go through.
.
"Having said that, I would say this is the time for the NFF to ensure that the Eagles prepare well for the Championship.
.
"There should be more quality friendly games as usual and enough time for camping of the players so that at the end of the day, a well prepared Super Eagles will emerge and surpass their previous performances at the World Cup", the former Golden Eaglets handler posited.

Whoever we meet at the world cup should be beaten by the super eagles of Nigeria.
