“One after the other. We are not talking about winning the AFCON. We are talking and planning about winning each match. One after the other. We will fight.”
“That’s most probably the toughest group. I have an idea of West, South, North, and East African football. These are great nations but we are going to prepare ourselves for the onslaught. every one of those teams will feel Nigeria. We have respect and a little fear knowing that we can lose. So with that, we have to prepare so it doesn’t come to pass losing.”
