“There Is No Small Country In The AFCON”

Yesterday, Zimbabwe, considered weaker, was able to grip Senegal, termed favourites down for over 90 minutes until the breakthrough of the Teranga Lions at injury time. What appraisal do you have of that game?

These countries are well prepared thanks to effective training. Physically, they are fit. Looking at what the Zimbabweans did yesterday, Senegal will have to go back to their hotel and think twice. The next game might be another difficult one for Senegal. Let us just wait and see.

The Moroccan team was well organised. The Ghanaian team was equally organised but there were little errors especially at the defence. 

The two favourites of Group D, Nigeria and Egypt will be meeting today, what predictions do you have for this game which promises to be tight?

The most important thing for them will be to cross level 1. The game between Nigeria and Egypt will be a 50-50 one. Both teams are very strong. Nigeria has won the cup...
