Zambia playing WCQ mind game says Amoo

By Daily Sports on October 4, 2017

Former Super Eagles assistant coach, Fatai Amoo has dismissed as mere mind game the antics by the Zambians to halt Nigeria’s qualification for the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia.

Amoo said though Zambia’s World Cup hope received a huge boost no thanks to the back-to-back win against Algeria the Nigerians have the edge to cement and seal their World Cup ticket at the expense of the Southern Africans.

“I think the ratio is 60/40 for Nigeria against Zambia going into the crucial World Cup qualifier on Saturday in Uyo.

“Zambia played two-legged clash against Algeria and were able to garner six points which actually revived and boosted their morale.

“On our part we won and drew against Cameroon which is equally good for our morale and chances.

“Zambia are merely cashing in on the momentum of the wins against Algeria to assert unnecessary pressure on us.

“I consider the undue pressure and avowal talk to halt our dreamed qualification for the World Cup as mere mind game.

“It’s permitted in football but I do not think their outburst and plot will cause any damage on our chances,” he said.

Continuing he said: “We have experienced and matured players in our midst to perfectly handle the untoward pressure.”

Eagles will host their Zambian counterparts, Chipolopolo in Saturday’s Group B World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

The West Africans lead the pack in the group on 10 points while the Southern Africans are the hottest challengers on seven with a game left to end the qualification series. © supersport.com
