His word is gospel. He knows what he is saying, since the Nigeria coach has been through it all in live . So if Augustine Eguavoen talks about the matches between Egypt and Nigeria, we can not express reservations. We give him this credit a priori and nod his head. “I played against Egypt as a player and a coach. Facing him in the Africa Cup of Nations will not be an easy task ”, swears the interim manager.
“Do everything possible to analyze Egypt”
Although he has full confidence in his players and staff, Eguavoen admits they will have to work very hard to beat the Pharaohs . ” We will do everything possible to analyze the Egyptian national team, individually and collectively, in order to develop our plans,” continued the Nigeria coach. “We are currently studying the Egyptian national team. And we will continue to do this until we are ready ”, a-t-il ajouté.
Eguavoen faced Egypt once as a player. It was during the group stage of the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations. The match ended in a 0-0 draw. Nigeria then won the trophy after notably beating Zambia (2-1) in the final.
