The midfielder says the Eagles are not getting ahead of themselves prior to their clash with Tunisia on Friday as they seek improvement after defeating the Menas

Bartholomew Ibenegbu has stressed Nigeria are not getting carried away following their 4-1 win over Niger Republic claiming it has been business as usual in the Super Eagles’ camp.

Sunday Oliseh’s men produced the performance of the tournament so far by getting four goals past the Menas and take the early initiative in Group C.

And the energetic player feels recording a victory was a good result and the team’s handler was delighted they secured maximum points.

“The victory means so much to us because in every tournament, it is always crucial to win the first game. We are glad to get the maximum points though the game was tough,” Ibenegbu toldGoal.

“Coach [Sunday] Oliseh was also happy with us because we played according to his instructions and also got the maximum points.

“After a scoreless first half, he made some corrections and told us to go for everything in the second half and that really helped us.”

And although morale is high in the team, Ibenegbu is confident his side will not become complacent against the Carthage Eagles.

“We will start tactical preparation for Tunisia game because we cannot afford to slip,” he continued.

“A win for us will see us through to the next round of the competition which will ease some pressure from us.

“For now, we will take each game as they come and try to achieve our ultimate target which is the title,” he concluded.
