World Cup 2018: Ex-Eagles captain, Fetuga gives Nigeria tips to beat Iceland
Super Eagles tips to pick all three points in Friday's World Cup 2018
game against Iceland.
He said Coach Gernot Rohr must field only fit players and that the
team should maximize the weather advantage.
Nigeria will play their second Group D match at the 45,000-capacity
Volgograd Arena in Russia.
Speaking with The Guardian in St. Petersburg, Fetuga said: "It is
obvious now that a defeat to Iceland will end Nigeria's dream in this
World Cup. So, there will be no need keeping your best materials for
another day.
"The coach has to parade only players who are very fit because I have
been told the weather in Volgograd is very hot. That should be to our
advantage.
"Again, the players must approach the game with determination. They
should put everything into the game so as to keep hope of making it to
the second round alive.
"In our days, welfare package for players were not as good as they are
enjoying now. So, I expect the Eagles to beat Iceland".
Fetuga added that it might be difficult for the county to win the FIFA
World Cup in the nearest future
"In Nigeria for instance, the passion we have for football is no
longer there with the present squad. Money is what comes first now.
"Again, we seem to have neglected grassroots football in our country.
Everybody wants to play football abroad, and that is why Nigerian
teams are struggling to qualify in every competition", he stated.
