Emenike: Ethiopia will be tough

uper Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike says that he expects this weekend’s World Cup qualifying encounter against Ethiopia in Calabar to be tougher than the first leg fixture played last month.

Nigeria carry a 2-1 aggregate advantage into Saturday’s encounter, and Emenike the scorer of both goals in Addis Ababa disclosed that although the African champions hold the aces, he expects the Ethiopians to put up a tough challenge.

“The game in Calabar will be tougher for us than the one in Addis Ababa,” Emenike told Fifa’s official website.

The Fenerbache striker admitted that he and his teammates would have to approach the second-leg encounter with caution, adding that Super Eagles still had a bridge to cross.

“We have to be careful and get ready for another big business in Calabar.

“Ethiopia are very good and they will be coming here with more tricks. So, we shouldn’t see the first victory as the end of road.”
