Ex-Enyimba International Football Club player, Mbah Agwukalu says he is very optimistic that Super Eagles will qualify for 2022 World Cup Championship given the array of tested foreign based players invited by coach AustineEguavoen in readiness for the two legged world cup playoffs against Ghana.
Reacting to the 32 man- provisional list made public by coach Eguavoen last week, Agwu held the view that the list was okay even without the inclusion of the home based players, having known the crucial settings and magnitude of the game which would determine the fate of Eagles qualifications.
“No doubt, Eguavoen is aware of the importance Nigerians attach to this match, little wonder, he is not taking chances in his invitation of players by going for the best tested legs in foreign based players who are more exposed and capable to hold their game against their arch rivals, the Ghanaians, who have been talking tough  about the match”.
The self-confident Mbah Agwu, however, admitted that there were good players in NPFL game except that Eguavoen was mindful of using the best for now until Nigeria got the qualification ticket before he would invite one or two home based players   into the main stream of Eagles team.
He however, used the opportunity to call on Nigerians to affirm faith in the 32-man squad invited by Eguavoen, believing that they will not let the country down by winning the Ghanaians very convincingly.
