I Had Sleepless Nights Over Eagles’ AFCON Selection – Eguavoen

Super Eagles interim coach, Austin Eguavoen, has admitted that he had sleepless night making his 298-man list for the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Eagles will face Egypt, Sudan and Guinea Bissau in Group D.
The 2021 AFCON will hold from January 9 to February 6, 2022, across five cities in Cameroon.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, Eguavoen said he was aware of the threats posed by the seven-time champions.
“Egypt is seven times winner and they are a team I have played against and coach against at the junior level. I know what they can bring to the table,” Eguavoen said.
“They are not a team you can push over, also every team that has qualified for the AFCON are no pushover. We are going to do everything possible to see how we can actually analyse them individually and collectively and map out a strategy. That’s what you should expect them to do as well.
“Nigeria is a big country and other teams will be planning as well.
“I think I am better as a coach now because every day that counts matters and I have watched many coaches and I have learned because we learn every day. But the thing is your opponents determine how you set up your team. So, it’s going to be a different approach against Egypt and another against Sudan and Guinea Bissau.”
