Ahead of the World Cup qualifier between Nigeria and Zimbabwe, coach Michael Nees said it is surprising to see the Super Eagles struggling in the group C pairings they ought to be dominating.
The Super Eagles are second from the bottom spot occupied by the Warriors after four games. With four points the Super Eagles travel to Kigali March 17 to play the Amavubis, and then return home to face Zimbabwe in Uyo March 24. These are a must win games for Super Eagles new coach Eric Chelle.
But according to coach Nees the group C is trickier, and it is hard to predict the outcome.
“It’s a very bizarre situation when you look at it, that a team like Nigeria is second from the bottom while Rwanda is leading. But it shows how competitive football is,” he told the Zimbabwe Herald.
“If you don’t bring the right psychological profile, the right mental approach, the right attitude, the right tactical approach, organizational support.
“If you don’t get everything right, even a team like Nigeria can simply now sit almost at the bottom of the group and others are leading.”
