AFCON'23: We will never underestimate any team - Kenneth Omeruo speaks ahead of tomorrow's clash with Guinea-Bissau

Published on: 21 January 2024

Nigeria Super Eagles after a great win against host Ivory Coast in their last AFCON game of played on Wednesday, will face Guinea-Bissau on Monday in their final group A match, with at least a draw needed to perfect their qualifications to the next round, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.

Speaking ahead of the game when asked by a journalist in the press conference if the victory against Cote d'Ivoire won't make Nigerian feel they have arrived and underestimate Guinea-Bissau in the next game, Kenneth Omeruo said.

"The boys know how important it is and we are going to approach that game with seriousness."

Jose Peseiro while responding to the question asking if he'll play all the players he's taken to AFCON he says:

"For tomorrow's game, I'm going to choose the best eleven. All the 25 players here deserves to be here. They're very good and if the referee allows me, I'll play all the 25 players at once.

Also speaking about Hassan's injury, he said: Yusuf did not train with us yet, so tomorrow he cannot play.

A draw for Nigeria tomorrow will see them through to the next round and a win will put the team in a good position to finish top of the group.
