Former chairman, technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Mallam Suleman David has advised the Super Eagles not to let the issue of money distract them and ensure they beat the Fennecs of Algeria when both sides clash today in a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Uyo .
David said in Minna that winning the match should be paramount in the minds of the Eagles.
Suleiman appealed to the players to show understanding with the NFF on the issue of money in view of the present economic hardship in the country.
He noted that Nigeria’s hope of qualifying for the World Cup is bright given the assemblage of youthful players in the current Eagles squad.
“Nigerians have confidence in this team to qualify for Russia 2018. Now, we have what it takes not only to qualify for the World Cup but to even make history at the World Cup proper,” said the former chairman of Niger Tornadoes.
He urged the NFF not to allow itself to be distracted, adding that “they should do everything humanly possible to ensure that the country’s flag is hoisted at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.”
Suleiman urged Nigerians to pray for the Eagles to pick the three maximum points in Uyo, saying “all that is required from all Nigerians, especially football lovers is to pray for the success of the team on Saturday.”
