Eagles not better than us, says Ethiopian coach

Teshome, Ethiopia’s captain optimistic Ethiopian coach Sewnet Bishaw said that the Super Eagles will meet a different team from
the one they pipped 2-0 at the 2013 Nations Cup, when they clash in Sunday’s World Cup qualifier.

At the Nations Cup in South Africa the Ethiopians impressed with their good ball possession and sleek passing game, but a string
poor results made them finish at the bottom of group C. They lost 4-0 to Burkina Faso and 2-0
to the Super Eagles.
However, coach Bishaw said they have learnt from their mistakes at the Nations Cup.
“If you look seriously at that match at the Nations Cup, Nigeria were not a better team than us. Up to the (end) we were performing
good. But in the last 10 minutes they used their experience, so they got two penalties,” he said.
“I think we will have a better game in the coming match against Nigeria,” Sewnet said.
Also midfielder Menyahil Teshome who is ready to battle John Obi Mikel for the control of the game stated that they wont make mistakes this time around. “We are ready for this match, we are very ready. We learned a lesson from the mistakes we made last time,” said midfielder Menyahil Teshome.
