By Daily Sports on December 5, 2017

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick is confident that mental strength, self–belief and youthfulness will serve the Super Eagles well at the 21st FIFA World Cup finals in Russia next year summer.

Speaking on the World Sport programme of the Cable News Network (CNN) from the station’s London studio on Monday, Pinnick said the quality of preparation will determine our far the teams will go in the world cup.

“First and foremost, I must commend all the 32 qualified teams because they came from very intense qualifying campaigns. What will then matter at the finals in Russia are factors such as the quality of preparation by each team, the mental state of the players and prayers from back home.

“We are in a ‘decent group.’ Argentina have such a high pedigree and Croatia and Iceland are very good. Iceland reached the quarter –finals of the European Championship last year and topped their qualifying group, so there are no minnows in there.

“We are banking on good preparation and the belief that our young players have in themselves.
