“I remember that we had control of the game and move the ball to my teammates. I just played my part.
“I was also so happy we won 2-0 against Guinea-Bissau and it was my debut. I even slept so late because I was so happy.
“It was not difficult for me to adapt as a right back because going in the coach told me to do the basics by way of moving the ball in the right direction. So it was not difficult for me because I have played it once or thrice at training.
“If it happens i will be delighted to have more playing time with the team. However, I am really happy with the way the team is going. In fact, the team comes first.”
Recall that goals from Sadiq Umar and William Troost-Ekong was enough to give the three-time AFCON champions the maximum points and maintain their unbeaten record in the group stages.
