Sam Elijah Urges Super Eagles to Prepare for Guinea-Bissau
Ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea-Bissau, former Nigerian midfielder Sam Elijah cautioned the Super Eagles against underestimating their opponents, who currently lead Group L on goal difference. Guinea-Bissau's team, known as the Djurtus, recently secured a 2-0 victory against Tanzania in their opening match.
Elijah highlighted the importance of preparation, stating that there are no longer "minnows" in African football. He expressed satisfaction with the Super Eagles' recent 2-1 comeback win against Madagascar but urged the team's handlers to reassess their strategy for the upcoming match.
Elijah called for Coach Eric Chelle to enhance both technical and tactical preparations, stressing that the match against Guinea-Bissau is crucial and must be approached with diligence and commitment.
