Siasia targets all 6 points in AFCON double header against Egypt, says: ‘I have the players to do the job’

By Daily Sports on March 4, 2016

Nigeria caretaker coach Samson Siasia has said his target is to beat Egypt both home and away in crucial AFCON qualifiers later this month to guarantee the country’s qualification to the final tournament in Gabon.

“I have absolute faith in the players. Nigeria is blessed with so many talented footballers across the world and I know that those we are inviting for this match will give everything for the six points in both matches,” said Siasia after he released a 42-man squad for the AFCON qualifiers.

“Personally, I will give everything that I have to offer for us to win both matches.”

He added: “I want to passionately appeal to Nigerians, everybody, to show belief in the team and give us total support.

“It will not be easy, but if we stick together and present a united force to fight this battle, I believe we will triumph.”

The former Nigeria striker, who was in the same position between December 2010 and October 2011, assured that only the best players who “showed ability to run and decimate the opposition” will be given opportunity in both matches.

The 22 home-based players are expected to hit camp at the Bolton White Apartments, Abuja on Sunday, March 6, before the overseas-based pros arrive as from Sunday, March 20. (mtnfootball.com)
