On Sunday the players were given a free day
after a hectic
training session on Saturday morning that lasted for over two hours with
the
technical crew saying the training was necessary to keep the players in
top
shape ahead of the return to training on Monday evening.
Saturday’s training session which was watched by
NFF
Technical Director, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme and the popular All Stars Club of
Abuja,
was a delight to watch as the coaches seek to instill discipline and
Spartan
order in the team ahead of the game in Abidjan.
Meanwhile, the team will take on the Pastor
Chinedu and Dr
Oby Ezekwesili inspired, ‘The Everlasting Arms Parish ‘(TEAP) Fc in a
test game
on Tuesday evening at the Goal Project site in Abuja. The last time both
sides
met last year, the Super Eagles laboured to a slim 1-0 win, in a game
that was
described as one of the best test macthes for the team by Head Coach
Stephen
Keshi.
Team Coordinator, Emmanuel Atta, said he expects
another
testy tie from the oppostition after last week’s 1-0 win over FC Abuja
in
another test game. “We expect a tight game but we are talking of the
national
team and we expect nothing other than victory”, he said.
The team is expected to jet out on Thursday
through the
Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, according to Team
Scribe, Dayo
Enebi Achor. “All logistics have been perfected by the NFF Leadership
and we
must always thank the Aminu Maigari led Executive Committee for this.
Hopefully
by Thursday the team should be off to Abidjan to complete the process of
qualifying
for the first time for the CHAN tournament after two near misses”, he
said.
