Super Eagles Assistant Coach, Dan ‘The Bull’ Amokachi, has declared that the team will not be desperate for victory in the international friendly against Venezuela on Wednesday but will also not want to be defeated.
Speaking when officials of the US Embassy, led by former Mighty Jets of Jos star, Sanni Mohammed, grilled him on the new focus of the team, Amokachi said there is a new focus in the team and that is to return the team to its glory days when Nigerians will sleep easy when the national team has any important game. Amokachi said: “We want to win but we are not desperate.
“We don’t also want to lose the game because we want to keep a good frame of mind ahead of the Nations Cup in 2013 and that is why we are starting with home based players, discovering new stars and then joining them up with our foreign based stars to give Nigerian football lovers what they want at the Nations Cup.
“We hope we can do well at the Nations Cup and probably play in the final and make Nigerians happy again, that is the target of the Head Coach and the entire team.”
