Everton midfielder, Alex Iwobi has tasked his Super Eagles’ teammates to react positively when Nigeria confront The Wild Dog in Bissau in the reversed fixtures in Marrakech, Morocco on Monday.
Fielding questions from reporters in Abuja on Saturday, the former Arsenal midfielder described the 1-0 loss to their West African neighbours as one of those bad days in office.
“We tried to play as a team and created so many chances in the game. I think Guinea Bissau probably had only about three opportunities, if you check the stats.
“So, it is one of those games we want to term as ‘bad luck’. We created so many chances, it just wasn’t for us today (Friday).
“I am sure if we play them again, luck will definitely be on our side and we will beat them convincingly,” Iwobi said.
“First and foremost, as players and the technical crew, we have to react, look at the game and analyse where we need to improve.
“So, the only thing I want to say to our teeming fans is that they should stick by us and support the team as we are ready give a 100 per cent and fight for not just ourselves but the nation.
“Everytime we come here to represent the country we fight for so many people and count ourselves privileged and honoured to wear the national colours.
“We assure you all that in our next game, we are going to do our best to make sure we get it right and make our nation proud,” Iwobi said.
Super Eagles heads to Marrakech, venue of the return leg in search of valuable win that would see them return to the top of the table as Guinea Bissau currently sit atop with seven points from three games while Nigeria occupy second spot with six points
