“Super Eagles’ Victory Over Ghana is a Christmas and New Year Gift to Nigerians” – Ogunmodede
Super Eagles assistant coach, Daniel Ogunmodede, described the team’s 3-1 victory over Ghana’s Black Galaxies as a perfect Christmas and New Year gift for Nigerians.
The match, which took place in Uyo on Saturday, secured Nigeria’s spot in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), a competition for players from their domestic leagues.
With the tournament set to be co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, this marks the Super Eagles’ return to the competition after a six-year absence.
Ogunmodede expressed his joy, emphasizing the importance of bringing happiness to Nigerians, especially during the festive season.
“I’m thrilled about today’s win. I’m happy for Nigeria, for the country, and for the people’s unity,” Ogunmodede said after the match.
“This is a gift for the Yuletide and the New Year, and we are proud to give our people something to celebrate.”
It has been reported that Liverpool turned down the opportunity to sign Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior.
It can be noted that two teams have set their sights on the player, and since Liverpool has backed out, Arsenal are now interested in him.
Vinícius notably only has one year left on his Real Madrid contract and could possibly transfer to another team.
It can be noted that Karim Adeyemi, a Nigerian football player, just signed with Barcelona and shared his reason behind joining the team. He stated that it was because of Hansi Flick.
He shared how he wants to contribute to the club and admires the coach for making that possible.
“Hansi Flick is the main reason why I’m here. I have spoken a lot with him and have trusted him greatly from the very first moment. I’m willing to help to achieve the objectives.”
