After
the 1-1 draw against Liberia on Saturday, the coach of the Nigerian
side, Augustine Eguavoen has said his team will do the business when
they meet the Liberians again in a fortnight.

This was what the
former Super Eagles coach claimed after watching his team forced to the
draw by the Liberia U-23 side. The match was played at the Samuel Kayon
Doe stadium and it was the first leg, first round of the All Africa
games qualifiers, The Nigerian team dubbed; “The Dream team V” is
expected to beat their foes after their five-star showing against
Equatorial Guinea two weeks ago.

Eguavoen said:
“They are a good side but they will not survive my team in the return
leg. They were only lucky today that my boys did not convert the
chances that came our way. Also, the pitch did not allow us to express
ourselves but the story would be different back in Nigeria”.

An angry Eguavoen also poured out his mind over the harsh treatment meted to his team on arrival to Monrovia.

“I am not happy
with the Liberia Football Federation. It’s a shame that in this
advanced stage of the game, African countries can still pull such
antics. When we arrived, they left my team stranded at the airport for
three hours, transported us to the hotel in a bus with no ventilation.
As if that was not enough, they dumped us in a hotel without power and
delayed meals, leaving my players to sleep on the floor at afternoon
because of heat and then this race course they call a pitch,” Eguavoen
lamented to Liberian press.

He however assured that Nigeria will qualify for the next round of the All Africa games by beating Liberia convincingly
