“Definitely, as a coach, there’s a responsibility, but that is what we do. We have to be calm and do our job to make sure you do it properly.

“You know a lot of Nigerians are watching so we want to make them proud AFCON is gone, these are two games that are very very crucial to Nigeria so we will take it seriously and make sure we get the best out of these games.”
