Siasia, who confessed that he does not know his opponent in the forthcoming game told the players to see this opportunity as a privilege to serve their fatherland, adding that they must brace up for the challenge ahead.
The former national U-20 coach told the players at dinner at their Serob Hotel Camp thatthe team does not have limited time to prosecute the game but that any player who does not live up to the challenges ahead will be sent packing immediately.
Disclosing that Congo will not be a walk in the pack, Coach Siasia said he will use one week to access the new players as he expects some overseas based professional players to join up with the team before the middle of the month.
Meanwhile, aside the Warri Wolves' duo of Oghenekaro Etebo and Freedom Omofonma, and Ubong Ekpai of Kano Pillars who is presently with the Super Eagles preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad, the remaining 27 invited players have arrived camp beating the Monday deadline handed down by Coach Siasia.
