Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi has promised that the Super Eagles will make amends for their 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic in June, when the two sides meet again on Saturday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Ndidi acknowledged that the team's performance in the previous encounter was subpar, but is confident that they will rectify their mistakes this time around.
"We as players, we know what we did the last time was really bad. The game was really bad, so it's just what we are planning to do now to make everything right because everyone was disappointed in the first game," Ndidi told reporters.
The defensive midfielder declared that the team is fully prepared to face their opponents, both physically and mentally.
"But there is no pressure to be honest, because we know what we want to do. We know how we want to approach the game," he added.
Ndidi expressed confidence in the team's readiness, saying, "We know mentally we are ready; we know physically we're ready and fit to actually approach these games."
The Super Eagles will host Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, with Ndidi and his teammates determined to secure a crucial win in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
