Super Eagles stand-in coach, Samson Siasia, has said that he has no reason to give Roma player, Mohammed Salah, a special attention as Nigeria prepares to battle Egypt for Group G top spot in March 25th Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The former Basel and Chelsea forward has been impressive this season scoring 11 times in 25 appearances for his Italian Seria A side, AS Roma.
Siasia, though, acknowledges the forward’s threat but feels the Super Eagles cannot focus solely on
the 23-year-old when they welcome Hector Cuper’s men in the make or break Afcon qualifier in Kaduna.
“We are happy for Mohamed Salah and all the Egyptians,” Siasia told KingFut.
“Salah is a great player but so is the Egyptian team. In some occasions one man can make a difference.
“We know him [Salah] very well. Will we make special precautions for Salah? No, we won’t make special plans for just one single player.
“They are all good players in a good team,” he concluded.
Nigeria face Egypt on the 25th of March at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, before playing the return leg in Alexandria four days later. Goal
