Emerging Super Eagles midfield star, Abdulahi Shehu, says the best is yet to be seen of the team as the African Nations Championship progresses, declaring that the team will be better in the knock out stages of the competitions.
Team’s Media Officer Ben Alaiya quotes the Kano Pillars middleman as saying thus: “tell them they have not seen anything yet, we are here for nothing but the trophy and we have shown that with our game against South Africa, but I must say that is not our best match, the games ahead will show our true quality”.
Shehu, who has been described by his injured team mates duo of Benjamin Francis and Ikenna Paul as the heart of the CHAN Eagles, said he was prepared to justify the huge confidence reposed in him by his teammates and the technical crew in the coming games and was sure to do the nation proud at the end of the tournament.
On his part teenage goalie, Dele Alampasu, said the loss against Mali jolted the Eagles to reality and there will be no mistakes until the cup is won. “The same thing happened to us at the Under 17 level when we all thought Sweden was a walk-over but when they showed us in our first game, it became a lesson and we did not take our legs off the pedal again until we won the championship in the United Arab Emirates, it’s about to happen here again”, he said.
