“I Am 100% Sure We Will Qualify for CHAN” – Eguavoen
Augustine Eguavoen has expressed strong confidence that Nigeria will secure a spot in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Speaking ahead of the decisive second leg against Ghana, Eguavoen emphasized his belief in the team’s ability to overturn past disappointments and deliver a victory for the nation.
Earlier, Nigeria narrowly missed out on the last CHAN tournament held in Algeria after being eliminated by Ghana in the final qualifying round.
That loss has caused a fierce rivalry between the two teams, which now extends into the battle for a place in CHAN 2024.
The first leg of the current qualifying tie ended in a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Both teams displayed defensive strength but failed to capitalize on their attacking opportunities.
The second leg is scheduled to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo this Saturday, where the Super Eagles hope to seal their qualification in front of home fans.
Eguavoen, a former defender and long-serving member of Nigeria’s football community, remains optimistic.
Speaking to reporters, he said, “I am 100% sure that this time, we will turn things around against Ghana.
Also, I have absolute confidence in the team. The players are ready, and they have assured me they will deliver. Now, we just pray for some luck to go our way.”
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
