•Eagles’ coaches study Pharaohs’ vidoes
•NFF perfect logistic details
Super Eagles players would not confront their Egyptian counterparts blind folded following the efforts made by chieftains of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to secure the video tapes of the Pharaohs.
Consequently, the NFF technical committee gave the team’s chief coach, Samson Siasia copies of the tapes that they have just as they duplicated them to give to body’s Technical Director, Shuiabu Amodu to peruse.
Indeed, the NFF chiefs are leaving no stone unturned in their quest to ensure that Nigeria beats Egypt in the first leg game slated to hold inside the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna from 4pm.
Already, the NFF have literally relocated to Kaduna to monitor how the stadium complex and playing pitch are been redesigned to meet the international standard with emphasis laid on security before, during and after the game to avoid a situation where the egyptians experience any unsportsmanlike conduct which could neccessitate reprisal attack on the Nigerian contingent when they head for Alexandria for the return game on March 29.
Interestingly, those who should know at the Glasshouse in Abuja informed Sportinglife on Sunday night that Eagles’ foreign legion have been directed to fly straight to Kaduna on March 20, while those who have their ticket routed through Abuja should arrive in the country on March 19, where they would be taken to Kaduna the next day by road.
