Former Super Eagles coach, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, has said preparation is quite key to Super Eagles’ qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The three-time African champions were on Friday drawn in Group B together with neighbours, Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia in the African zone qualification race.
The Onigbinde who said records and statistics have not been good judgement of how countries fare in major championship but their respective preparations made.
“I have never bothered myself with the group or who are there in the group but I concentrate on getting my team prepared for the championship.
France came to the World Cup in 2002 as champions but lost its first match to relatively unknown side, Senegal.
Football is not mathematics and I do not believe in records or statistics as well as spying of opponents.
Our chances will squarely depend on how we prepare our team for the qualifying race and it rest on the technical men.
I do not believe in the catchword or singsong ‘Group of Death or Life’ it means absolutely nothing.
My interest and concentration has always been to build a solid team for the championship.
The Nigeria can win the World Cup if everything is properly done but sadly we are still joking with our football,” said by the former CAFand FIFA instructor.
