Retired Nigeria international Chidi Nwanu has advised the Super Eagles to be firing on all cylinders in the showdown against Ethiopia in less than 55 hours time.

The USA 1994 World Cup star thinks Nigeria will get a favorable result if they take nothing for granted and the players are in shape.

Speaking to goal.com, the former Anderlecht libero said : “I however know that Nigeria’s players always rise up to the occasion when least expected.

“I am tipping the Eagles to get a good result in Addis Ababa and then wrap up the proceedings when the Ethiopians visit us in Nigeria.

“I want to tell them to stick together and they should close their eyes and play their best.

“They should let the ball do the running and ensure that they conserve their energies for the latter part of the encounter.”

Chidi Nwanu’s football career spanned more than 15 years. He represented ACB, Westerlo, Beveren and Anderlecht among others.
