encounter against the Bafana Bafana in the quarter-finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
It is on record that the Super Eagles had failed to beat Bafana Bafana during the qualifiers as the first meeting at the Nest of Champions in Uyo went the way of the Baxter side. “The Eagles must not be careless against this South Africans because they now know us better than before. We need to play with caution because they can outwit us.
“The Eagles are better now, with what they have displayed so far in AFCON, not minding the Madagascar debacle, they are at their best,’’ he said. “Akpeyi remains a suspect in goal for the Eagles because he sometimes fumbles with the balls which resulted in our first defeat in the hands of the Bafana Bafana during the qualifiers.
“I will prefer Omeruo to be at the heart of the defence because he is strong and has a lot of tackles won, maybe anyone between Ekong or Balogun can pair him.
