Coach Gernot Rohr has promised that the Super Eagles will give everything to be African champions for a fourth time in Egypt.
However, he has restated Nigeria are not top favourites to win the tournament.
“We will fight like Lions to go and win the Africa Cup,” he declared in an interview.
“We want to win for Nigerians and I am expecting a lot from this tournament but I don’t want to put pressure on my young team.
“But we’re not the favourites. Egypt at home will be , then there’s Senegal, Morocco and Tunisia.”
Tomorrow, the Eagles will battle Senegal in a final warm-up game in Ismailia.
Rohr maintained the result was not the most important thing, but he will also be happy his team go into the AFCON unbeaten in almost a year.
