Awoniyi charges Super Eagles stars to replicate club form against Sierra Leone

Nottingham Forest striker, Taiwo Awoniyi believes Super Eagles would be a hard but to crack for any opposition only if players can replicate club form during national assignment.

Speaking at the team evening training session, Awoniyi said he is going to approach Sierra Leone clash with much seriousness.

“This is a game [against Sierra Leone] that is very important to the country because you have to play it once, it’s not a league game where you have an opportunity to play again,” Awoniyi told Soccernet.

“That is how I see every Super Eagles game, and that’s the kind of spirit I will take to the game if I get to Liberia.

“This is a game that you have to put in your best because you only have 90 minutes to play. Perhaps, the next time you play again in September or thereabout.

“Of course, Nigerians should not expect anything other than victory. Because looking at the calibre of players that we have in the team, these are players that have done well for their club sides, and I hope that we can bring home the same spirit that we have from our club sides.

“If we can bring it back, there is no nation that can beat Super Eagles.” says Awoniyi.
