Speaking to Footballlive.ng ; But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9The words that rest on the head and very likely in the mind of Super Eagles interim Coach, Samson Siasia.
It is a clear admittance that the task of guiding Nigeria past Egypt is over his head but very much within the powers of God to deliver the Pharaohs into ‘our hands’ in Kaduna.
Siasia’s first stint with the team; in 2012, was a marriage that ended quite sorely and sour. It was the first time Nigeria played and failed to qualify for the competition in 24 years.
The Eagles were edged out by Zambia 1-0 on aggregate; the hosts scored a solitary goal causing the defeat in Lusaka, it was the deadly blow.
Once again, the 48-year-old puts his reputation – somewhat cleaned up now by his 2015 Afcon U-23 triumph- on the line, as he comes on a rescue mission to return Nigeria to the continental showpiece and perhaps by the biggest opposition Africa will see this calendar
year.
