SUPER Eagles chief coach, Salisu Yusuf, has informed that the technical crew of the national team will largely stick to the players who made the country proud in their Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier away to Zambia for the team’s next match against the Desert Warriors of Algeria.
The Gernot Rohr-tutored Eagles went to Ndola to pick a vital 2-1 away win last Sunday to begin their quest for a place at the 2018 World Cup on a cheerful note.
Yusuf told sports journalists in Abuja that there was no need to change a winning team, more so that the players had begun to understand one another better.
According to him, the decision to stick to the same set of players to execute the Algeria match was reached after the coaching crew met to appraise the performance of the team against the Chipolopolo of Zambia.
He added that the decision was meant to allow continuity, confidence and cohesion amongst the players.
“We don’t intend to change the team, not many changes will be made because the boys have begun to gel and understand one another,” he stated.
He, however, declared that the decision notwithstanding, the coaches would still invite two or three new players to strengthen the squad for the Match Day 2 tie billed for Uyo next month.
