They are also in the present squad that is at the cusp of glory in Cote d\u2019Ivoire, with the Final match against the host nation taking place on Sunday night at the 60,000 -capacity Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Ebimp\u00e9.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Forty-eight hours before the match, Musa, who scored against Mali in a 4-1 win for Nigeria in the semi-finals in South Africa 11 years ago, and is Nigeria\u2019s record goalscorer at the FIFA World Cup with four goals, was very relaxed in a brief chat with thenff.com at the team\u2019s Pullman Hotel in the Plateau district of Cote d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s industrial and economic capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a feeling you can\u2019t always properly describe. Winning the AFCON and touching the trophy is an unforgettable experience. Omeruo and myself experienced that when we won in South Africa. But I want another one and he also wants another one. The good feeling and experience must be double double.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omeruo, also very relaxed and in company with filial relations, corroborated the team leader: \u201cWe want that special feeling again \u2013 the feeling of being a champion of Africa. We have not gone this far to throw it away now. We have thrown everything into the six matches we have played here. We will give more than 100 percent against the Ivorians on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Cote d\u2019Ivoire hosted the competition 40 years ago, the Super Eagles also played in the Final match, but against Cameroon. The hosts failed to qualify from the group stage. That was an era when the final competition welcomed only eight teams.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the tournament welcomes 24 teams (nearly half the member federations of CAF), making it a far bigger competition with so much glamour, glitz, grit and plenty of drama.<\/p>\n<p>After a 0-4 trashing by Equatorial Guinea in their final group phase game, many thought the Elephants had been eliminated. But Hakim Ziyech\u2019s goal days later eliminated Zambia and sneaked the Elephants into the knock-out rounds, where they have prospered.<\/p>\n<p>Nigeria\u2019s on-field captain William Ekong says he expects Sunday\u2019s Final between the Eagles and the Elephants to be a classic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will not be a tea party, and we won\u2019t be going out there with a tea cup. We will work hard and fight hard for the trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Jose Peseiro on Ahmed Musa<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAhmed Musa is special and important to the team. He is my assistant, he advises me, he gives me the necessary support. He is committed in his role and can play. We shall wait and see tomorrow, but we want to win the AFCON for Musa to lift the trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92023 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
