Enyimba’s Adegbite who is also Nigeria’s captain and a defender was asked during the post-match press conference why they haven’t kept a clean-sheet since beating Ghana 2-0 in the first match.
“Football is a game of two teams and even if you are playing a handicapped team, they will have their own chances,” Adegbite said at the post-match press conference monitored by Complete Sports.
“As my coach said, we have enough time to prepare for the Nations Cup, so we will work on that. I cannot say the problem but it is something we are working in training and we will get it right.”
