Super Eagles B Coach, Eric Chelle, has promised Nigerians that his boys will do everything possible to win their second game of the ongoing African Nations Championship against Sudan to avoid early ouster from the championship.
 
Nigeria lost their first game of the championship 0-1 to Senegal and must win today to regain the hope of making the second round of the competition.
 
The team had their last training session ahead of the game yesterday, with Chelle optimistic that his wards are equal to any challenge posed by Sudan’s Falcons of Jediane in the Group D encounter, taking place at the 15,000-capacity Amaan Stadium on the island of Zanzibar.
  
In his pre-game comment yesterday, Chelle said: “I just want to win this game against Sudan; this is my game project. We are under pressure, but we are ambitious and must win tomorrow. This game is the most important for us because a win can bring something good for the team.”
 
Team captain Nduka Harrison Junior also echoed his coach’s optimism, saying: “We want to take each game as it comes, and next for us is Sudan. The previous game was a setback and not a disaster. We have a point to prove, and we are ready to correct our mistakes.”
 
The Falcons, who also had their spirit dampened by a late equaliser that ensured they took home only one point instead of three in their clash with Congo just before the Nigeria and Senegal tango, are, however, poised for a fight on the Indian Ocean Island.
 
“Nigeria is one of the biggest nations in African football, and we respect them, but we won’t fear them. I don’t believe in any rivalry; this is a game, and the best team will win. I have watched only one game of the Nigerian team and can’t assess them based on one game. I don’t see any player as a threat, but the entire team,” said Kwesi Appiah, head coach of Sudan.
