Super Eagles interim coach, Austen Eguavoen, has spoken about the mentality driving him and his boys at the ongoing African Cup of Nations.
According to him, they simply fear no foe even if they respect the opponents.
The Eagles have again become the toast of everyone after superlatively defeating the Pharaohs of Egypt, caging even their dreaded strike, Mo Salah.
On their philosophy, Eguavoen said after the match:
“When we arrived, the reception was very okay and my general overview is that this has been quite an interesting AFCON tournament from the very first day we touched down in Cameroon.
“I think all teams need to be respected and our game plan is to respect everybody but not to be scared of anyone.
“Egypt as we all know have won the most number of titles (seven times) in the AFCON and are a very strong side with one of the best coaches and players in the world.
“I think we worked very hard, we respected them, but try to play our game to get maximum points from every game,” he said.
The Super Eagles will next take on Sudan on Saturday, before playing their last game against Guinea Bissau on Jan. 19.
