Nduka Promises To Make Nigeria Proud Ahead of CHAN Game With Senegal
Home-based Super Eagles defender Junior Nduka has promised to give his all for Nigeria as the team prepares to clash with Senegal on Tuesday in the CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) group stage. The Remo Stars player expressed confidence in the squad and said they’re determined to make the country proud, just like the D’Tigress and Super Falcons recently did.
The D’Tigress claimed the AfroBasket title after a strong win against Mali in the final held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, while the Super Falcons edged out Morocco 3-2 to lift the WAFCON trophy.
Speaking during a press briefing in Zanzibar ahead of the match, Nduka said, “Nigerians expect a lot from us, especially with the way our athletes have been performing across different sports. We’ll do our best to build on that success and not disappoint them.”
He added that the recent victories by the women’s basketball and football teams are a motivation, and the team is fired up to bring more joy to the country.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
