AFCON 2021: Sudan can shock you – Eguavoen warns Super Eagles

Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen has warned other teams at the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, that Nigeria will approach all their games as it is a final.

Eguavoen gave the warning after Nigeria defeated Egypt 1-0 on Tuesday in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, opening tie.

“We are going to approach every game like it’s a final, so we going to take it game after game and see where we get to because every team that has come to AFCON should be respected regardless of the name of the country,” Eguavoen said at his post-match press conference after the game.

“There are no minors anymore in football, so if you don’t plan or put in effort, you can be shocked.”

“So I don’t know who is going to win but we will try with our own ways to approach every game with all seriousness,” he added.

Nigeria’s next match is against Sudan on Saturday.
