“That’s most probably the toughest group. I have an idea of West, South, North, and East African football. These are great nations but we are going to prepare ourselves for the onslaught. every one of those teams will feel Nigeria. We have respect and a little fear knowing that we can lose. So with that, we have to prepare so it doesn’t come to pass losing.”
