Former Super Eagles’ coach Adegboye Onigbinde on Thursday at St Petersburg in Russia said tactics for Nigeria vs Iceland game will determine fate of the Super Eagles at the World Cup 2018.
Onigbinde told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that football is not mathematics and what the Super Eagles need right now is the support of every Nigerian.
“I am a patriotic Nigeria, but football is not mathematics. So, I wish the team well.
”I have no contact with the team, so I cannot talk about what they need to do against Iceland in their next game on Friday
”I’m here courtesy of the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, who when I was marking my 80th birthday promised to take me to Russia as my birthday gift. So, I’m here on holiday,” he said.
Onigbinde, however, said that the outcome of the match would depend on the tactics adopted by the team.
“It will all depend on what the coach and his assistants have in mind in terms of tactics. That is very important.
“But what is also crucial is the kind of support we all give to the team at this crucial moment,” the veteran added.
