Izuchukwu OkosiGuinea Bissau creative midfelder Carlos Måne is looking forward to Monday’s clash against Nigeria as both sides honour their last Group A game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire and believes that his team will give their opponents a tough game.
Speaking to the media during the team’s press conference on Sunday evening, Måne insists that despite losing two games on a row, they have a reason to aspire for a win.
“We want to play for pride, for our country and family. We want to finish the tournament with point(s) and we want to win tomorrow,” the player noted.
“I know the Super Eagles coach (Jose Peseiro), we have worked together, he is a very good coach but we are going to give our best tomorrow.”
The Super Eagles would need to win their Monday match for a realistic chance of topping Group A and remain in Abidjan where their Round of 16 opponent will be any of the third placed teams in groups C, D or E.
Their last group match against Guinea Bissau is their 100th match since their debut in 1963.
