Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has come out to say that Nigeria’s double-header AFCON qualifiers vs Sierra Leone are must-win games.
He, however, revealed that Super Eagles will not underestimate the visitors at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.
According to him, Sierra Leone cannot be underrated, but his players must win their games early so as to be more relaxed for the matches to come.
He added that he is excited by the spirit of the players and their sense of dedication and commitment in training.
His words, “We do not in any way underrate the Sierra Leoneans that we play over two legs within these four days, but we have our focus and objective for the matches,”
“We want to win both games so we can have the ticket and be able to be little more relaxed for the final games.
“You know that next year, we also have the World Cup qualifiers to focus on. It is better to get the Africa Cup of Nations job behind us now.
“I am excited by the spirit of the players and their sense of dedication and commitment. We have not played a competitive match in a year, but they look very ready and good to go. Our mission is six points in these two matches.”
