Iwobi, who has gone the distance in all four matches of the AFCON 2022 qualifiers and has three goals to his name, told News Central TV: “We are expecting hard work because against Sierra Leone last game. The former Arsenal of England playmaker added that the Eagles would be motivated going into Saturday’s match with memories of what happened against Sierra Leone and affirmed that they will hold unto the important lesson they got from how they gave up a four-goal lead to share points in the Edo State capital.
That was a 4-4 draw they settled for against Sierra Leone at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City in the third match of the qualifiers, which put Nigeria’s surge to Cameroon 2022 on hold, but Iwobi stressed that all the players learned a huge lesson from that setback and they will not allow a repeat on Saturday and Tuesday. They also looked ahead at Tuesday’s final game of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, when they return to Lagos to host Lesotho at Teslim Balogun Stadium, where Iwobi in particular reckons the Eagles would have the chance to make up for the implosion they suffered in their last home fixture. While looking acknowledging great expectations from Nigerian fans from the game in Porto Novo on Saturday, Ebuehi and Iwobi went on to affirm that they and their colleagues in the national team will give all they can to pick maximum points this weekend. Everton of England midfielder, Alex Iwobi and FC Twente of Holland defender, Tyronne Ebuehi have both promised better performances from themselves and all other players in the Super Eagles against Benin Republic this weekend, reports.
