“It is not going to be easy playing against the host nation that is high on confidence, having won all their three group phase matches, ” said Amaju Pinnick in a release published by the official website of the Nigerian Federation, thenff.com.
“Extra effort will be needed in all departments; hardwork and courage are critical virtues that the U-23 boys must take to heart on Wednesday.
“Our country is on a run of excellent results in international competitions. We are determined that run must continue and that is why the U-23 boys must defeat Senegal to assure of a place in Rio de Janeiro next year.”
Senegal are the only team left in the knockout round with a hundred percent record, while the Dream Team are undefeated at the tourney but drew their last two games with Egypt and Algeria.
