Ethiopia Should Forget About Revenge - Echiejile

[Folami David]

Braga FC of Portugal left-back, Elderson Echiejile says he is looking forward to return to Brazil next year for the FIFA World Cup after the 2013 Confederations Cup as he predicted that that it would be tough playing the Walya Ibex of Ethiopia in Saturday's last World Cup qualifier but was certain Nigeria will not miss the opportunity of featuring in the 2014 edition of the World Cup.
.
Elderson who admitted that the Super Eagles were just lucky to win the first leg match says the Ethiopians would want to approach the match with the mind of creating an upset but assured that they will not allow them to disgrace Nigeria in the encounter.
.
"We are all here preparing for this crucial match because we all know the importance of the match to our World Cup ambition and for us to get a good result from it, we really need to be focused and give our best. It is not going to be an easy match because the Ethiopians lost the first leg at home and normally, they will be looking for a revenge but we are not going to allow that," says the former striker turned defender.
.
The reliable defender though believes that the first leg match won 2-1 in Addis Ababa was good Nigeria, will put pressure on them to give their best in the match.
.
"Normally, they knew they had lost the first leg match and playing away to a country like Nigeria may not give them any advantage but they will want to prove a point that they can still get things done and that will put a pressure that will bring out the best in us. I am sure we are going to be at the World Cup and that is for sure.
.
Meanwhile, Echiejile has admitted that his club Sporting Braga have not been doing well in the current season while assuring that they will keep working hard to improve before the break.

There is no revenge in this very clash. Super Eagles are already in Brazil, Ethiopia can just forget it

Saying Nigeria was lucky to win the first leg just came from his humble self. Individual brilliance did the magic
