In a pre-match interview ahead of the Super Eagles Vs the Falcons of Jediane match, Super Eagle’s coach has expressed his team’s readiness to take on the Falcons of Sudan at today’s match.
It is no news that the Nigerian Super Eagles dazzled everyone with their brilliant performance against Egypt on Tuesday, 11th January 2022. Even Mohamed Salah whose performance drew the most anticipation, performed as much as the goal posts when faced with the Super Eagles.
In the light of their performance against Egpyt and in view of today’s match against Sudan, Super Eagles Head Coach, Augustine Eguavoen, made the following comment: Sudan is not a pushover, and more so, they are one point, we are three points. We want to consolidate on that and we will keep pushing on harder to have a chance to qualify for the knockout phase. They have players who in their attack who are quite fast, probably as fast as Mo Salah, but tomorrow they are playing against Nigeria and we expect they will raise their game, but we will respond as well.”
It is true that Sudan has missed out on four editions of the Africa Cup Of Nations, but their current head Coach, Tia Burhan, has reiterated his team’s grit and motivation to compete and come out successful. According to him, “we need to prove a point that we have developed and belong to the top group since we have won the AFCON trophy before.”
Tia was referring to Sudan’s AFCON win in 1970, but this is not 1970, and we are rooting for our boys to clinch the Cup or at least have a good time while at it.
