CHAN: ‘We were tense against Rwanda… no pressure when we play Libya’

CHAN Eagles started their 2018 African Nations Championship campaign with a goalless draw against Rwanda on Monday night.

Going into the game against Libya, midfielder Austine Oladapo has assured Nigerians that the team will play bereft of pressure.

Oladapo said all the players will lift the level of their game and fight to win.

“We will play for a win against Libya as well and we will get it,” Oladapo told TheCable.

“What we just need to do is to play without pressure, then we will do it.

“You see all games are different and Rwanda one was the first game and we were a bit tense.

“We tried to win but somehow we couldn’t pick three points. That’s football for you.

“Our coaches have told us to be calm and take our chances.”

The 2014 CHAN bronze medallists will face Group C leaders Libya at the Stade Ibn Batouta on Friday.
