Bartholomew Ibenegbu has stressed Nigeria are not getting
carried away following their 4-1 win over Niger Republic
claiming it has been business as usual in the Super Eagles’
camp.
Sunday Oliseh’s men produced the performance of the
tournament so far by getting four goals past the Menas and
take the early initiative in Group C.
And the energetic player feels recording a victory was a
good result and the team’s handler was delighted they
secured maximum points.
“The victory means so much to us because in every
tournament, it is always crucial to win the first game. We are
glad to get the maximum points though the game was
tough,” Ibenegbu told Goal.
“Coach [Sunday] Oliseh was also happy with us because we
played according to his instructions and also got the
maximum points.
“After a scoreless first half, he made some corrections and
told us to go for everything in the second half and that really
helped us.”
And although morale is high in the team, Ibenegbu is
confident his side will not become complacent against the
Carthage Eagles.
“We will start tactical preparation for Tunisia game because
we cannot afford to slip,” he continued.
“A win for us will see us through to the next round of the
competition which will ease some pressure from us.
“For now, we will take each game as they come and try to
achieve our ultimate target which is the title,” he concluded.
Tunisia were forced to a 2-2 draw by Guinea, and Henryk
Kasperczak’s side will be hoping to cage the Eagles at Stade
Régional Nyamirambo to relaunch their bid for a second
CHAN title.
