“The ambition is there, the goal is the same, we know how painful it was to not go all the way the last time and we’re looking to make amends for that.
“Like I said, we still got a semifinal to do it and we are really hungry, ready and focused to make sure we fulfill the ambition.
We can always improve. No performance is perfect and whatever we need to fix we can do that on the training field before the next game.”

Finidi and Eguavoen would have been talking 442 with no alternatives. They would have seen nothing wrong in inviting and starting their boys, Boniface and Iheanacho and will still be looking for videos of Akor. The
So far in this competition,
By the way, Ajayi has shown exemplary qualities with his interceptions, calmness, ball distribution, and alertness. I have seen him defended effectively from all sides of the defense. He provides the stability for the rugged and imposing Bassey to fluorish.
By the way Osayi and Bruno played their best game so far in the competition. Hoping it won’t drop in the next match.
And there is IWOBI who has really brought his premiership level into the AFCON (changes in tactical formation and pitch are the msin reason).
The press needs to show more love to Unsong heroes like Ajayi, Osayi, Bruno, Onyeka and Ndidi. These guys offer so much but they get less…
The three bangers upfront are the best combination of attack the team has seen in decades. Two AFOTY (OSI_LOOK), MVP of an Europe Finals (Lookman), multiple highest goal scoring awards and MVP of an European league (OSI), added to an rounder workaholic Akor.
Nwabali will always be Bobo, he is still the best GK for the team.
Chelle has showed us the first 17 players in the Afcon team. Add Onyedika, Bashir, Ryan, Simon, Chukwueze..
The return of Frederick, and Aina completes 20 reliable starters in the team. The two youngsters will be part of the team (Akin & Nnadi), new ones will also join soon.
Thank you Chef Chelle !!
