Coach Eric Chelle has said the Super Eagles will be gunning for victory against hosts Rwanda tomorrow because the whole of Nigeria expect this.
“I just want to win this game because the country awaits a victory,” the coach said ahead of his first game in charge of the Super Eagles since his appointment in January.
“The players are training hard, they want to make Nigeria proud.
“Our focus is only on this game.”
Super Eagles captain William Ekong said they hope to make up for their previous disappointing results in the World Cup qualifiers.
“We can’t change the past, but we have a chance to do better tomorrow,” he declared.

South Africa are third on seven points, Lesotho are fourth with five points, while Nigeria are second from bottom with three points.
