Super Eagles will tonight play ‘the Nigerian style’ in a must-win 2026 World Cup qualifier against South Africa in Uyo.
New Super Eagles coach Finidi George wants his team to attack using the wings with a big striker, keep the ball and be unpredictable in front of goal.
A top source told SCORENigeria: “Super Eagles will play like a typical Nigerian team going by the message Finidi has been trying to pass to the team this week.
“They will push the attack with players bringing their individual qualities upfront to unlock the opponents’ defence.”
His Super Eagles will play a 4-3-3 formation and take the game to Bafana Bafana tonight, this was against waiting for the same team when they clashed in the AFCON semifinal four months ago.
Finidi has imposed such a style in his three years at Enyimba – robust wing play of Ekene Awazie, Joseph Atule, Bernard Ovoke complimented by a big top striker, Chijoke Mbaoma.
Against Bafana Bafana tonight, Ademola Lookman and Kelechi Iheanacho will most likely start on the links with Samuel Chukwueze consigned to the bench even after Finidi declared the AC Milan star fit for this match.
SCORENigeria scooped the coach is most likely to deliver a surprise on who will lead his attack tonight in the absence of the injured Victor Osimhen.
U foolish ppl never learn which one is Nigerian style. All dey need is 3 pts and goal difference
If they like German or American style all we need from them today is nothing shot of Victory. I need 3 goals to nil.
