An ex-international midfielder, Waidi Akanni,
says the Stallions of Burkina Faso would do
everything possible to defeat the Super Eagles
in their upcoming international friendly match
on March 27.
The former midfielder said this on Friday in
Lagos that the Stallions would want to avenge
their 2013 South Africa AFCON finals loss to
the Super Eagles.
“The fact that we also played them at the last
Nations Cup final also mean they will want to
come and take revenge.
“So by and large I think they will want to come
and play us with their full team thinking you
know; it’s time for them to get revenge back
on Nigeria.
‘’So, it’s going to be an interesting game.’’
Akanni, who was a member of the Flying
Eagles squad that won the bronze medal at the
Moscow 1985 FIFA U20 World Cup, added that
the match would be a good tune-up for the
Eagles.
