Nigeria ready for CHAN ―Coach

 

Salisu Yusuf, CHAN Eagles’ coach, on Wednesday, said the team was prepared to prosecute a successful football engagement in the Championship of African Nations (CHAN) in Morocco.

Yusuf gave this assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja while speaking on the team’s preparedness for CHAN.

He said that the team was set to confront all their opponents with total focus and all seriousness for national glory.

“We have done the needful; we train as expected of every hard working team to blend for good results.

“The team is up and doing and I am confident that they are in form and on top of their game to play matches satisfactorily in CHAN,” Yusuf said.

The coach noted that his players had always worked as a team, which had resulted in successful outings in both the qualifications and preparations.

According to him, we have left no stone unturned because we want to have the best in the tournament.

Yusuf, who expressed optimism in the ability of his team to lift the trophy, restated that they were ready for CHAN.

He called on Nigerians to continue to support the team, which he promised, would make the country proud in Morocco.

“If good results are achieved through preparations and hard work, then know that we will have no opposition in CHAN.”

NAN reports that CHAN will begin from January 13, 2018 to February 4, 2018 in Morocco.

Nigeria will be facing Libya, Rwanda and Equitorial Guinea in Group C to decide who qualifies.
