Francis Uzoho is confident the Super Eagles will get the better of Sierra Leone in Thursday’s African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Uzoho stated that the team is focused and won’t allow the repeat of the debacle that occurred in 2020, when the visitors came from behind to draw 4-4.
“I think we will be more focused, I think we lost focus and we thought okay maybe we’ve already won the game by leading 4-0 in the first half.”
“So I think that is a lesson for us to learn from, that football is not about pride, so we are going to respect out opponent this time around, give our all and see what happens,” the Omonia Nicosia told Brila FM in an interview.
With Maduka Okoye missing, Okoye is expected to start the game against he Leone Stars and also the second clash against Sao Tome and Principe four days later.
