Amokachi Speaking t during a training session, Amokachi, said the players may have received kudos for playing well against Cote D’Ivoire but the fact remains that the game was lost. “That is in the past now, we must all refocus our minds for the next game. Not only players but even we the officials because we cannot afford another slip.” The Yemeni side are already reportedly in town with technical report about them indicating that they may not have the skills of the Nigerians but they can run for 90 minutes and more without tiring, hence the need for the Super Eagles to be on the watch-out for the energetic Yemen side until the final whistle.

All thanks to the NFF for the vision”. The Eagles will file out lthis evening at 8:30pm UAE time and 5:30 pm Nigerian time for the international friendly against Yemen at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai, UAE.
