Super Eagles of Nigeria
Super Eagles of Nigeria Nigeria’s defender, Ola
Aina says the Super Eagles are fully focused and prepared for their huge Africa
Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final against South Africa on Wednesday.
The Torino full-back believes Coach Jose Peseiro
has struck the right balance to ensure the team peak at the right time in their
pursuit of a fourth African crown.
“Myself and my teammates are ready for this
challenge,” Aina told reporters ahead of the last four clash.
“The coach is hard on us when he needs to be, and
lenient when he needs to be there’s a good balance to help us progress.
“Nigerians are now entirely fixated on overcoming
a buoyant South Africa side to book their place in Sunday’s final.
“The focus is solely on the South Africa game and
getting the job done.
“It’s a massive match with so much at stake,
including qualification for the 2023 AFCON final. “He said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
Nigeria aims to reach the showpiece event for the 10th time, as they look to
add to their titles from 1980, 1994 and 2013.
Peseiro’s side edged past Cameroon and then Angola
in the knockout rounds and appear to be building momentum.
But Bafana Bafana represent their sternest test
yet after knocking out favorites Morocco and Cape Verde.
Aina is confident Nigeria have prepared
meticulously and will embrace the high stakes when the rivals clash at Stade de
la Paix in Bouake.
