Technical Advisor of the Nigerian national team, Augustine Eguavoen has stated the team is unfazed by the pressure associated with next month’s World Cup play-offs against Ghana.

Ghana & Nigeria will both go toe-to-toe for a ticket at this year’s World Cup in Qatar with the Black Stars hosting Nigeria on March 24 before the second leg in Abuja three days later.

Undoubtedly one of the most gruesome rivalries that exist on the continent, the Ghana-Nigeria tie comes with its own pressure but  Technical Advisor of the Super Eagles, Augustine Eguavoen stated his  main headache is not the game but the pool of talents to pick from.

“It is always an honor to serve the country. I was impressed with the high level of discipline and commitment of the players at the AFCON in Cameroon, and I feel privileged to lead the group,” he said during a zoom call with the team and the country’s Sports Ministry.

“We have two tough games against Ghana next month but I am not too worried because we have a squad that knows it is a mountain that we have to climb. We have a good headache to deal with – which is a surplus of good players. I want to thank the Government and the NFF for all the support during the AFCON; we will need even greater support for the World Cup play-off,” he added.
