Nigeria is billed to confront the Red Devils of Congo on the
15th of November in Pointe-Noire in a must win game that will be played on an
artificial pitch.
"The pitch in Warri where the Super Eagles will train
is an artificial pitch and should provide the required feel and match
conditions as the pitch where the game will be played in Congo," Amadu
revealed.
"This is a very crucial game and we cannot afford to
take anything for granted.
"After the game in Congo, the team will then proceed to
Uyo to prepare for the last qualifier against South Africa.
"The Nigeria Football Federation is working round the
clock to ensuring that all the team needs to make a success of the November
assignments are provided so that the Super Eagles are able to defend their
title in Morocco.
"For us, the real challenge is to go to Congo and get
the desired result that will put our qualification aspirations back on the
right track," Amadu added.
The Super Eagles will need to beat Congo with a clear 2 goal margin or get a higher scoreline of victory than Congo got in Calabar to be ahead of the Red Devils in Group A after the November 15 clash.
