By Tony Ubani
THE Nigeria Football Federation officials here in South Africa says that the Eagles have been told in clear terms that they have no other choice other than to beat Zambia in their second match coming up tomorrow.

Media Committee Chairman of the board, Chief Emeka Inyamah said yesterday that they addressed the players and told them the match against Zambia would be a must win match.

“They know because they have no choice to win. I am positive that they will beat Zambia. It is not going to be piece of cake but many things have changed and the players are showing the right attitude towards victory tomorrow”.

Before now, the board in South Africa held a closed door meeting with the technical crew where they drummed it to their ears that should produce a team that would give credible performance.

They did not stop there. They also held a session with the players where they told them there would be no retreat, no surrender against Zambia.
