China ‘85 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner Nduka Ugbade has tipped the Super Eagles to book their ticket to the Brazil 2014 World Cup finals with no Nigerian ‘hospitalised’ for high blood pressure like in the past, saying the Africa Cup of Nations triumph will motivate the team.
Nigeria on February 10 beat the Stallions of Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final of the South Africa 2013 to win the trophy for the third time, after they were champions on home soil in 1980 and at the Tunisia ’94 finals.
Speaking to our correspondent on the telephone during the week, Ugbade, a member of the Tunisia ’94 winning squad, said the players would be fired up for the World Cup qualifiers by the South Africa 2013 success.
