South Africa coach,
Stuart Baxter, has said his
team are not intimidated by Nigeria
stars.
Baxter said this
after the arrival of Bafana Bafana in
Uyo on Thursday.
The Briton said, “We don’t have big stars but we have a
team. Every Africa nation faces the same problem but then the coaches try to
balance the stars and the others.
“We are not going to
be defensive or careful because Nigeria has good players. We should be
intimidated by everybody. David beat
Goliath but this is not a case of David and Goliath because there is no David
and Goliath in this game.
“Nigeria is the favourite for this game but for South Africa
to be intimidated, no. Though the Eagles had more time to train, that is the
way it is.”
He added, “We are confident in the way we are approaching
the game at the moment but the players know what to do together for the job to
be done. The players are hopeful ahead of the game but not intimidated.”
Meanwhile, the South
African delegation arrived at the Le
Meridien Ibom Hotels with their water and foodstuffs.
