BATTLE OF UYO: WINNING ONLY OPTION-OWOLABI
Ahead of Saturday's world cup qualifier against Algeria in Uyo, former international Felix Owolabi has charged Super Eagles to focus solely on resounding victory, insisting that settling for less is not an option
The odds according to him favour the Eagles who must build on the advantage they have to avoid last minute permutations that has become the norm in recent times.
While calling for maximum support for the team, Owoblow' said after shooting into the lead in the group, Eagles must not drop the baton but maintain the tempo all the way.
""This is a must win match. We won our first match and the Algerians drew theirs which is an advantage but we must not dwell on that advantage, rather we should aim at another resounding victory to further boost our chances to Russia 2018,"he said
Amidst reports of growing injuries in the Algerian camp, the former veteran of the Nigerian premier league advised the Gernot Rohr tutored side not to take anything for granted as the visitors are formidable and will not be cheap despite reported injuries.
A win for the Eagles in Uyo will see the side garner six points in two matches. Algerians go into the match with only one point in the kitty same with indomitable Lions of Cameroon while Zambia will be seeking their first point when they face Cameroon in their second match same day.
