Ahead of the 2021 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) second Group D fixtures, Nigeria’s attacker, Moses Simon has sent a message of caution to fellow Super Eagles teammates.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the Nigerian Super Eagles will be battling it out with the Falcons of Jediane of Sudan on Saturday.
The encounter is the second fixture of Group D, which is currently being topped by Nigeria.
Simon, who plies his trade with Ligue 1 side, FC Nantes told his Super Eagles teammates that there is no small team at the 2021 AFCON.
He stressed that the Super Eagles must not get complacent when they face Sudan.
The Super Eagles opened their campaign in the competition with a 1-0 win against seven-time champions Egypt on Tuesday.
They will do battle with Sudan on Saturday at the Roumde Adija Stadium, Garoua.
A win against the Lions of Jediane will see Austine Eguavoen’s side secure a place in the Round of 16 with a game to spare.
Simon, who put up an exceptional performance against Egypt insisted that they go all out for a win against the Sudanese.
“The game against Sudan is something we just need to be careful with because now in Africa, there is no small team.
“So, of course, we just need to go all in all. The way we took the game against Egypt is likewise the same thing that we are going to do against Sudan.
“We have to do our best and give 100 per cent to have three points,” Simon said after Wednesday’s training session at the VSTS-ANNEX, Roumde Adija Stadium, Garoua.
