Samson Siasia is eyeing a win against Egypt in in his first competitive game since returning to the saddle as Nigeria head coach last month.
The 48-year-old is ready to give an arm and a leg to ensure that the Super Eagles claim the full points in their Africa Cup of Nations Group G qualifier against the Pharaohs of Egypt at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna on March 25.
The former Nigerian international striker is excited that the invited players are also raring to go against the North Africans.
“We must make sure that we win at home. Whatever we must do to make us win at home, we must do to win at home.
“I’m going to give 100 percent of my time and everything I’ve got for those two games to make sure we win the game that comes up on March 25 in Kaduna.
“Right now I need the support of everyone, including you, the press. I don’t want to see anything negative.
“We spoke to some of these players, the like of Mikel, Moses, Iheanacho. They’re all ready to play. So it’s a good thing for us,” said Siasia.
The Egyptians, who lead the Afcon qualification group with two points, will play hosts to Nigeria four days later after the first meeting in Kaduna.
