We Can’t Repeat Mistakes – NFF Chief
Second Vice-President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Shehu Dikko has said the country cannot afford to dwell on the composition of Nigeria’s qualifying group for Russia 2018 World Cup following the draw last week.
Nigeria were placed in what has been widely described as a ‘Group of Death’ along with Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia, all former African champions, and Dikko is of the opinion that they cannot make the same mistakes they made when the draw for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations were held.
“We have to do the right thing to qualify no matter the group we find ourselves and we don’t have to dwell on the teams in the group,” he said.
“We should just dwell on what we need to do to make sure we are ready and that is what we have been doing.
“We should forget about whom we have in the group and concentrate on what we should do to qualify.
“We failed to qualify to the next Africa Cup of Nations because of the same reasons, where we started concentrating too much on Egypt,” he added.
