The seasoned football coach and administrator has tasked Sunday Oliseh’s men to silence the Syli Nationale to seal a place in the 2016 CHAN quarter final.

Former Nigeria Football Federation Secretary General, Fanny Amun has charge the Super Eagles to play the game of their lives against Guinea to ensure qualification to the African Nations Championship quarter final.

Sunday Oliseh’s men top Group C and they face a stern test against the Syli Nationale who are in dire need of a win to reach the knock out stage.

"Right now the best option we have is to add additional three points to the four we already have. It is safer and that translates to beating Guinea as regards the Super Eagles versus Guinea on Tuesday,” Anum told Goal.

"We have come to a situation where winning our last match and the three points at stake is very crucial. A victory against Guinea on Tuesday will make the Eagles top their group as well as qualify for the CHAN quarter final.

“And with this, the Eagles must do everything to beat Guinea.

"As regards Chisom Chikatara he should not relent at all. He should continue from where he stopped in the last game against Tunisia where he scored Nigeria lone goal having scored a hat-trick in Nigeria's first match against Niger Republic.

“The boy should make it a point of duty to continue to score in every game he plays, who knows his goals may be decisive and win the competition for Nigeria. He should also be a team player too. This is also very important.”

Amun also showered encomiums on the Confederation African Football for their initiatives to organize the CHAN tournament which he feels would go a long way in shaping and fine tuning the raw but quality football talents Africa have.

"Caf has really done well by putting in place this tournament. It has really helped African local leagues and Nigeria Professional Football League is really benefitting from it,” he concluded.
