The Super Eagles would from today alter their training schedule to evening time to coincide with the time the CHAN qualifier game would be played on Saturday in Abidjan, Head Coach Stephen Keshi had directed.
On Sunday the players were given a free day after a hectic training session on Saturday morning that lasted for over two hours with the technical crew, saying the training was necessary to keep the players in top shape ahead of the return to training on Monday evening.
Saturday’s training session that was watched by NFF Technical Director, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme and the popular All Stars Club of Abuja, was a delight to watch, as the coaches seek to instill discipline and spartan order in the team ahead of the game in Abidjan.
Meanwhile, the team would take on the Pastor Chinedu and Dr. Oby Ezekwesili inspired, ‘The Everlasting Arms Parish ‘(TEAP) FC in a test game on Tuesday evening at the Goal Project site in Abuja. The last time both sides met last year, the Super Eagles laboured to a slim 1-0 win, in a game that was described as one of the best test macthes for the team by Head Coach, Stephen Keshi.
Team Coordinator, Emmanuel Atta, said he expected another testy tie from the opposition after last week’s 1-0 win over FC Abuja in another test game. “We expect a tight game, but we are talking of the national team and we expect nothing other than victory,” he said.
