Former Nigeria international defender Efe Ambrose has called on coach of the team Gernot Rohr and players of the Super Eagles not to take today’s friendly against Cameroon for granted.
Ambrose said the rivalry between both countries is so intense that every game should be seen as a competitive one no matter the level which it is played.
The game which will be played in Austria is to enable both teams prepare adequately for the start of the World Cup 2022 qualifiers which starts later in June. Ambrose however want the Super Eagles to make a statement with the game.
“ Any game between Nigeria and Cameroon shouldn’t be seen as a friendly. There is always an edge to it. The rivalry between the two countries is intense. Rohr and the players shouldn’t joke with the game”, Ambrose told Owngoalnigeria.com.
“ Also with the new format for the World Cup qualifiers it will be better to get a win. Maintain your placement in the rankings in order to get a favourable draw for the final
rounds. This is more than a friendly and the boys should know”, he concluded.
