Former Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh, has urged the team that the only way they will win the current 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon is to play Nigerian football which is ‘aggressive and pace’.
On Tuesday night in Garoua, Nigeria will face Egypt in their AFCON Group D opener.
Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau are all in Group D with Augustine Eguavoen’s men.
“The boys are under a lot of pressure. What they need to succeed is to play Nigerian football, it might shock you,” Oliseh said.
“But I think that is what they have to do to succeed and Nigerian football is aggression and pace. They shouldn’t look for how beautiful it is or whatever.
“They should just play Nigerian football, which is aggressive and with pace.”
The kick-off time for Nigeria vs Egypt is 5 pm.
