“I’m happy for him, I had a chat with him when we played each other in Port Elizabeth and it’s so weird that he told me that I inspire him,” Williams told a press conference in Bouake.
“The way he’s playing now, I’m so happy that I can inspire someone, a fellow professional – so tomorrow we’ll share the stage together and go out to continue doing what we’ve doing as trying to be the best goalkeepers we can be.
“He’s been amazing this season but tomorrow, hopefully, he can concede, so that we can go into the final.”
South Africa and Nigeria will clash at the Stade de la Paix, Bouake on Wednesday (today).

He will not concede rather you will concede so Nigeria wlll go to the finals.
Amazing wotk yoi’ve done so far.
So you no go concede ba? Fu . . .fu . . foul. If you escape Osimhen, someone will LOOK at you, with a smile on his face.
Na defender go even score.
Nigeria is still the big brother. And the brother is going to hang the trophy where the little brother can’t get to, even with a ladder.
You better don’t put that mentality in your head that you inspired someone.
Nwabali is your big brother and you have to respect that.
Nigeria is winning 3-0.
Instead of him to reciprocate the gesture by saying they inspired each other, he is putting what Nwabali said on his head. I pity the South African Goalkeeper.
