Coach of Taifa Stars of Tanzania, Miguel Ángel Gamondi, has pledged to go all out to play the Super Eagles in their Friday’s AFCON qualifiers in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

He acknowledged Nigeria’s attacking strength and pedigree, saying his team would need to be realistic and work harder to contain the Super Eagles.

He, however, said Tanzania would not approach the encounter with fear or adopt an entirely defensive strategy.

“Our mentality is not to play defensive football; we will also attack Nigeria.

“We cannot afford to make mistakes in a match like this because we will be punished for any error,” he said.

Gamondi said his team had demonstrated tactical discipline during the AFCON and would give its best against Nigeria.

He acknowledged that Tanzania had already qualified for the tournament but said securing a victory against Nigeria would be a significant achievement for his team.
