Nigeria vs Zambia: Why Super Eagles defeated us in first leg – Coach Nyirenda

Ahead of the crucial Russia 2018 FIFA world cup qualifier between the Super Eagles and the Chipolopolo, coach Wedson Nyirenda has provided reasons his team lost to the reversed fixture in front of their fans in Ndola.
Zambia coach, Nyirenda told Vanguard in Abuja that they lost the first leg played last year because he was just 15 days on the job.

He said they have been rebuilding and are now ready to tackle Nigeria with a formidable team that can snatch the sole group B ticket from.
He said, “We are here in Nigeria for a serious business. Yes we have a lot of respect for the Nigerian players but today we are a different team from the one they defeated last year in Ndola.
“Before that game I was only 15 days on the job, but we are now fortified after overhauling the team.
“My boys now have the required confidence and that is why we were able to defeat the highly rated Algeria and you know it is not easy to beat such a big team.

“Nigeria has many big stars in Europe but that will even motivate us more.”
A victory on Saturday will seal the qualification for the world cup for Nigeria.
