2026 WCQ: Pressure Is On Finidi, Super Eagles Not South Africa- Broos
Ibrahim Lateef
It was mind game for Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos after he said the pressure is on Finidi George and his Super Eagles in Friday night 2026 World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, reports BSNSports.com.ng.
Finidi George will be leading his injury-hit Super Eagles out in his first official game, since taking over from Jose Peseiro.
The Belgian coach gave his verdict on the crucial clash in his pre-match conference that had the Nigerian and a few media crew from South Africa,
"We are ready for this game otherwise we shouldn't be here, we all know that Nigeria is a good team because we played against them at AFCON,” said Broos.
“If I can remember, that result they got against us at Afcon could have been in our favour and we could have been the team in the final and that means both teams are good.
"Pressure is a little bit on Nigeria because when you play qualifiers for the World Cup you can’t lose points at home. Pressure is a little bit on them but on the other side we believe and we have confidence after a good performance against Algeria in Mach.
“That means we can go on the level that we went with at AFCON and get a good result.”
