According to Eguavoen, the Algerians will want to come out with all sorts of play to impress their fans back home, and that could result to injury to some Super Eagles players.
“I know that what Rohr wants is to maintain a clean record in the qualifiers, but they have to be very careful because it is better we lose this match and all the players return without any injury than for them to take the match as a do or die affair against a team that is going nowhere,” Eguavoen told Completesportsnigeria.com.
The former Sunshine Stars coach also expressed happiness over the proposed international friendly with Argentina, saying it will help the coaches to prepare the team.
“Yes, it is a good one to have a team like Argentina to play as part of buildup to the World Cup, and I am sure that it will help the coaches to know what to do next. They should also know that it is a friendly match and they must avoid injury as well,” Eguavoen concluded.

Towards the end of last season, as Jose Mourinho’s jibes about Chelsea and their football became more and more frequent, many who know Antonio Conte were fully expecting one big swipe back. The feeling was that the Italian - no stranger to such spats back in Serie A - was merely patiently waiting for the position of maximum strength. He would maybe do it after his side had clinched the title, they thought, so he couldn’t be accused of any bitterness.
