{{That Nigeria won the 2013 African Nations Cup is not enough reason for Kenya to feat the Super Eagles, says newly appointed Kenyan Coach, Adel Amrouche.}}<\/p>\n
Amrouche, who has not even met all his players ahead of the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria on March 23, says the Harambee Stars would tackle the Super Eagles on the same footing.<\/p>\n
Kenya is bottom of Group F with one point, three points behind leader, Nigeria.<\/p>\n
But that does not stop Amrouche as classifying Nigeria like just any other country, adding that playing against the Super Eagles was enough motivation for the East Africans.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I coach I don\u2019t fear Nigeria although I know they are a good team. As a team we must have belief in ourselves and work hard on winning matches without getting worried of the opposition,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
Speaking about the demand for results by most fans, the former Burundi coach said it is the case everywhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a problem not only in Kenya, but also in the continent. Don\u2019t believe and rely always on what people say, when you don\u2019t work with passion you cannot achieve results,\u201d he offered.<\/p>\n
Amrouche on Wednesday named a provisional squad of 30 locally based players, who are expected to start training next week.<\/p>\n
Among those on the squad is Sofapaka Captain, James Situma, who missed the recent friendly away in Libya.<\/p>\n
Nigeria\u2019s Coach, Stephen Keshi is expected to name his squad for the game next week.<\/p>\n
