Eagles Spy On Stallions by Cosmopolice: 9:42pm On Jan 20, 2013
The Nigeria Football Federation on Thursday night sent spies to observe the friendly match between Burkina Faso and Swaziland.
The Stallions of Burkina Faso are in Group C with Nigeria, as well as defending champions Zambia and Ethiopia at the South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The move, our correspondent learnt, was part of the federation’s efforts to ensure that no stone was left unturned before Monday’s Group C clash between the Super Eagles and the Stallions.
The West Africans recorded a comprehensive 3-0 win over Swaziland in the game but the ‘Nigerian spies’ reportedly brought back positive reports ahead of the Group C opener.
Eagles media officer, Ben Alaiya, said there was no cause for alarm, assuring that the Eagles would claim all the three points in their first match of the competition.
Alaiya said, “Some members of the Technical Committee of the NFF were sent to spy on Burkina Faso during their friendly match against Swaziland on Thursday.
“Most of their players are known to us. Majority of them play in France’s first and second divisions. They play the West African game with a French touch.
“Burkina Faso have never been a problem to Nigeria. Remember we beat them 7-1 in Lagos during a Nations Cup qualifier in 1991. They should be the ones worrying over their chances against us.”
