The Super Eagles face an uphill task in Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Rwanda’s Amavubi at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali.
That game is a tricky tie for the Super Eagles, they have not won against Rwanda in all competitions, but according to striker Ademola Lookman, the team need to be dominant and play their game as they hope to turn the tide against Rwanda.
“Now, the team is looking forward to Friday’s game, the first game. We’re looking to go out there and to work hard and to impose ourselves on the game and have a good time,” said Lookman
He insisted that the line up of the Super Eagles should frighten any team.
“Everybody knows the level of the players that we have here. It’s an incredible group of players, and most importantly, they’re good people. Everyone has the same objective – to want to win, and that’s very important.
“We know Rwanda is a good team, we know about their quality, but at the end of the day, we need to be focusing on ourselves and try to bring the game to them, to fight together for the win.”
The Super Eagles need to win and bounce back in the group C qualifier, they are yet to win a game, and they would need to step up and take all three points in the match that will be a test for new coach Eric Chelle.
“We’re not under any pressure because we already have our 7 points so Nigeria are the one who are on the pressure because they need these points too but they will not get it,” Eric Nshimiyimana, Rwanda assistant coach said.
