No Liberian headache
for Super Eagles
The Lone Star of Liberia are currently in the United States
of America preparing in earnest for the two-legged encounter against Nigeria
fixed for September and October with the overall winners qualifying for next
year’s Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
"There is no cause for alarm. We all know that the
Eagles are now predominantly made up of players based at home and as such
assembling them would not be a problem," said Nigeria Football Association
general secretary Musa Amadu.
"We are not under rating the Liberians, but I do not
think that their early preparation is a threat to the Eagles. What I do know is
that we have put all machinery in place to ensure that the Eagles get adequate
preparation in the build-up to the game."
Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi is presently on holidays in
the United States ,
while assistant Daniel Amokachi is at the Olympics doing television job.
The Eagles will regroup on August 19 with the foreign
professionals expected to join up with the rest of the squad a week leading to
the first leg game on September 8 in Monrovia .
