U20 AFCON: ‘We seek prayers of Nigerians’ – Ladan Bosso ahead of Egypt clash

By Monsurah Olatunji

Nigeria U20 men’s national team will be gunning to get back on track in the ongoing U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) as they slug it out with host nation Egypt in their second group match on Wednesday at the Cairo International Stadium.
The Flying Eagles lost narrowly to Young Teranga Lions 1-0 on Sunday but still stand a chance of qualifying for the quarter-final stage of the competition.
Despite being dropped to the bottom of the group, Bosso is upbeat that they can upset the host as coaches worked more on raising the spirit of the players after losing the first match.
“There are high expectations at home and with the level of preparation and support from the Federation, we have no reason not to give our best,” he told media.
“Nevertheless, we’ve lost to Senegal in a manner in which we shouldn’t have, but then we just have to check out where we went wrong.
“I want people to know that the spirit is very high, though the morale was down after the first game we as coaches have to raise the spirit of the players.
“I think losing the first match is not something that cannot be amended, it was even good that will be lost at the beginning than lose in the end.
“We have time to adjust and we must show Nigerians, we hope that after adjusting to the errors we will have a good result. We seek the prayers and cooperation of Nigerians”, he concluded.
