Nigerian football icon Segun Odegbami anticipates a challenging encounter for the national team in their last group match at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Super Eagles are set to face Guinea-Bissau on Monday night, aiming to secure the top spot in Group A. With four points in hand, having drawn 1-1 against Equatorial Guinea and secured a 1-0 victory over Ivory Coast, the three-time African champions are gearing up for a crucial fixture.
Odegbami, who visited the team’s camp on Sunday to offer support and motivation, believes the upcoming match will pose significant challenges for the squad.
“I’m here to encourage you and to wish you well because the game against Guinea-Bissau is going to be a tough match.
“It’s going to be a difficult match because that’s how it is in our tradition. When we win a match and we feel the next one will be easy, that’s when it will be difficult.
“So I don’t expect an easy match but calmly do the things you know how to do best under any circumstances you will win and we will be with you here till the end,” the 1980 AFCON winner told the players.
