Super Eagles goalkeeper coach Alloy Agu stated that the boys know what is at stake in the CHAN tournament in Rwanda in 2016. The boys are presently in camp in Abuja and will be expected back after Christmas.
“I want to believe that they players know what is at stake, I equally believe they have Nigerians at heart as well as their expectations at the forthcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda.
“We understand that family is important especially this festive period that’s why we are allowing them few days to celebrate festivity with their families.
“We agreed on the need to stay focus while the Yuletide holidays last and to come back better players to continue on the programme on good representation at CHAN.
“They are core professionals and we do not expect them to abuse the rare privilege.
“We hope to come back on Saturday, December 26 to intensify work on the task at hand,” said the former Nigerian shot stopper to supersport.com.
Eagles are expected to reconvene to head off to Pretoria, South Africa for final preparation ahead of the hostilities at CHAN.
The bronze winners will open their title account against neighbours, Niger on January 18 at the Stade Regional Nyamirambo, Kigali before facing other Group C opponents, Tunisia and Guinea on January 22 and 26 respectively.
