AFCON: No kid treatment for Chad – Akpeyi

Super Eagles goalkeeper, Daniel Akpeyi, has said the Chadian national team will not get any kid treatment from the former African champions.

Eagles will meet against Chad in one of the 2017 African Nations Cup qualifiers at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, on Saturday.

Akpeyi told supersport.com that the Super Eagles has trained well for the crucial encounter.

“We are looking forward to winning the three points at stake against Chad in Kaduna on Saturday.

“We expect a good game as every win is important in the qualification campaign.

“Not at all, Chad will never be treated as underdogs, football has gone beyond the level you treat your opponents as pushovers,” he told supersport.com.

“We are well prepared for the Chadians as the three points in the clash cannot be negotiated.

“We do not have adequate information about their strengths but it’s quite possible they have full dossier and knowledge of us.

“We learnt Chad is coming with 100 per cent foreign-based players and not even one domestic player is in their midst.”
