The Nation Newspaper Nigeria vs. Mali : George seeks second win with Super Eagles in Marrakech
has reiterated his objective of securing a win in all two matches for which he has been selected to take interim charge of Nigeria in this international window, ahead of the clash with Les Aigles of Mali in Marrakech.
George must now do without defender Calvin Bassey and horsepower midfielder Frank Onyeka, who are injured and will not be part of tonight’s ensemble against the 1972 AFCON runners-up. Yet, the former Ajax Amsterdam and Real Betis winger is upbeat that those who dimmed the Black Stars will also fly above the other Eagles.“We cannot at this time be dwelling on the injuries and absences that we have to cope with. Our intention has always been to win these two matches and then look forward to the World Cup qualifiers in June. We are determined to keep up the momentum and sustain the winning mentality derived from beating the Black Stars,” George said on Monday morning.
