Morocco Captain Salutes Eagles Resilience, Team Relaxes In Cape Pool

Moroccan captain, Brahim El Bahri, has described the Super Eagles team at the ongoing CHAN African Nations tourney as one of the best teams he has had to face in his playing career, even as he tipped the Nigerian side for victory.

Speaking at the end of the hair raising encounter between both sides, Bahri, said Nigerians simply refused to give up even when they thought they had won the match, and at the end of the day their indomitable spirit won it for the Super Eagles.

Bahri said the team
has learnt quite a lot from their performance in South Africa and will now go back to the drawing board to prepare for the 2015 African Cup of Nations which Morocco will host. “The lessons are great and we will see how far we can go to win the confidence of the people and regain our selves for Afcon 2015, which we will host in Morocco. We are sure we will go very far in the tournament”, he declared.

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles had an early morning splash at their Garden Court Hotel abode before their departure for Bloemfontein, for the semi-final encounter. All the players led by Assistant Coach, Dan the Bull Amokachi swam and had every exciting moment at the pools for nearly two hours, just to relax the nerves of the encounter against Morocco. “It was good but I never made any mistake of going to the deep part of the pool after my experience in Niger Republic”, Ejike Uzoenyi said.
