The coach was asked if he feels under-appreciated by the fact that his countrymen do not have confidence in his team.
He paused, looked up to the ceiling and said; "it's a shameful thing if my nation do not have confidence in their team. I think it's a pity. I have confidence in this team and we are ready for Sunday", he said

We are focused on moving ahead and I believe in this team", he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I believe in this team. These players are hungrier than those ones that outsted Siasia. No splinters amongst them. Go Super Eagles.
ReplyDeleteThe coach so far is doing well and should be allowed to build this team. Look at how he has showcased Sunday Mba to limelight. Going to this tournament with 6 home based is so so so great.
