Manu Garba, the former Coach of the Flying Eagles, on Saturday advised the Super Eagles to put their lost behind and focus on the return leg in Egypt.
Garba in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the Eagles should concentrate in their attack because the second match is a must win.
“Now Egypt are two points ahead of us which means that it is a must win for us. It also means that we must have to work hard in our attack.
“In terms of attacking we must be conscious of the Egyptians because they will be tight to penetrate.
“It was not a bad result. However, the three points would have been better if we had it. We find ourselves drawing the match one, one, there is still hope.
“We can still beat Egypt in their home front though it could be difficult, but nothing is impossible in the game of football,’’ the former Flying Eagles coach said.
He added that another challenge the Eagles had was the fact that most of the professionals had three days to train unlike their opponent.
“If you look at this match, the boys did well especially in the second half, but a moment loss of concentration cost us a great deal.
“We drew the match because of loss of concentration from the defence, but if we will work hard and remain focused, possibly, we will beat Egypt at home.
