The coach emphasized the reasons they are in Nigeria during the news conference.

“We don’t consider ourselves to be great just because we topped our group.

“We have a lot of respect for our opponents but our aim is to make sure we progress forward. 

“We lost here back in 2021 due to many factors but we are hoping to have a different game“, he said.
