Albion Striker Says Eagles Coach Can Count On Him Against Guinea
Super Eagles striker, Osaze Odemwingie, has vowed to reciprocate the confidence coach Samson Siasia has on him by inspiring his team mates to beat their Guinean counterparts hands down on Saturday at the lush Abuja National Stadium
Osaze told Complete Sports after yesterday’s training session that he was overwhelmed by the welcome given him by the coaches when he arrived on Monday and that he had made up his made to take up the challenge given by Siasia to score goals for the Eagles.
“I was given a rousing welcome by the coaches after which I was told to lead the goals rush against the Guineans on Saturday. I have taken up the challenge and I hope to reciprocate the gesture by scoring at least one goal. Yes the coach can count on me to deliver,” the West Brom striker said.
“How else would I repay the confidence the coach has in me other than by scoring and working hard with my team mates to beat the Guineans by as many goals as possible. Beating Guinea is a task that must be done and we are collectively working hard to ensure that we get it done.”
He said scoring an early goal will be the key to breaking any resistance the Guineans would offer, adding that they would work towards doing that to ease the pressure and go ahead to finish the job of qualifying for the Nations Cup in Gabon/ Equatorial Guinea next year.
On whether the 2pm kick off time will not have an adverse effect on the Super Eagles, Osaze stated that one of the reasons why he came early to camp was because he wanted to get used to the hot sun before the match. He added that the weather will not be a problem ‘because in Europe it is still summer and the weather is warm.’
The former Bendel Insurance FC of Benin City star forward agreed that there will be so much pressure on the team to score an early goal and win the match but pointed out that Nigerians should just continue cheering them until they get the goals, adding that the goals will come.
Reminded that the Guineans who defeated the Eagles in Conakry in the first leg have vowed to stop them again, Osaze was quick to warn that they had fewer chances in that match and scored while the Eagles could not convert several scoring opportunities created.
“In Abuja, it will not be the same because a lot of things have changed in our team and the desire to win and be at the Nations Cup is burning in all of us. There is no hiding place for them on Saturday, we are united to beating them silly,” he stated.
