WE ARE IN NIGERIA TO BEAT EAGLES, SAYS GUINEA COACH

COACH of Syli Nationals of Guinea, Mitchel Dussuyer, has declared that they are not visiting Nigeria to have fun, warning that they are in the country to grab the African Nations cup group B qualifying ticket.

Dusuyer, who boys will confront the Super Eagles in a make or mar match at he main bowl of the Abuja National Stadium by 2pm today, declared that having studied the Nigerian side, his boys are determined to win the group ticket in Nigeria, adding that was not joking about the ticket.

The former Benin republic coach at the last African nations cup in Angola, who spoke to The Guardian as his team arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport Thursday night in Abuja, noted that though the game would be difficult for the two teams, the group B ticket was the reason they came to Nigeria.

He said he had a lot of respect for the Super Eagles, especially coach Samson Siasia, Mikel Obi, Joseph Yobo and Osaze Odemwinge. 'We are not in Nigeria to have fun but to fight for the qualification ticket. I know that you have good players in Nigeria and I respect them too, but I think we have the same caliber of players that can win the ticket for us here in Nigeria.

'I know that you have a different set of players from the ones that we beat in Guinea, so I believe the game will be a tough one for all of us. Our players are eager for the ticket because we want to play in the nations cup. I know that Nigeria will want to be there also. It will be very tough for everybody,' he stated.
