Media have a huge role to play for Nigeria to qualify for World Cup – Ideye

By Daily Sports on June 27, 2016

Brown Ideye insists the media have a “huge” role to play in Nigeria’s quest to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Super Eagles have been handed a tough pairing enroute Russia and they will have to negotiate their way past Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia in Group B.

The Olympiakos forward who returned to the national team in May having been locked out of squad he missed out on the 2014 World Cup squad believes everyone must work as a team to ensure the team earns a World Cup place.

“At this stage of football, tough groups like the type we have found ourselves are to be expected,” Ideye told NFF website.

“To get to the World Cup, we cannot cut corners or relax or take things for granted. The World Cup is the biggest football stage where you meet the best of the best, so getting there will be tough.

“Now, we have to be prepared to work hard. If we work hard together as a team we will win matches and if we win our games we will qualify.

“The media have to be involved in this as well. They (media) have a huge role to play in motivating and psyching our team to do well.

“Everything is in our hands; we must plan well and ensure our house is in order. I believe we will qualify,” he concluded.
