Super Eagles defender, Stephen Eze has said that the
team is poised to go all out for victory in the quarter-final game against
Angola in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) on Sunday in Tangier,
Morocco by 4:30pm (5:30pm Nigerian time).
Eze, who emerged the Man-of-the-Match in the game
against Libya, told SportingLife that the team's confidence is more than never
before and they could not afford to slip up at this stage of the competition.
"Nigerians should keep believing in this team and
keep supporting us. We know we are representing over 180 million Nigerians and
we can't afford to let them down at this stage. Our desire is to make our
county proud and not to be a failure," Eze told SportingLife.
"All I believe is hard work and determination
which has been really helping us in this tournament. I believe with unity in
the team we should be able to come out victorious against Angola on Sunday.
Despite the fact that we are playing for deferent clubs, I can tell you that
our relationship is very cordial and it is working for our success here."
Eze, who recently signed for a Bulgarian first league
club Lokomotiv Plovdiv from Kano Pillars said they have learnt from their
mistakes and will work on their lapses before the game on Sunday.
"The goal we conceded in the game against
Equatorial Guinea has really thought us a good lesions. What happened in that
game has happened and gone. What is important is that we have been able to
learn from our mistakes and we will work on our lapses.
"There is good communication in the defense and
we have been able to understand each other which has been very helpful to us.
We will keep our focus till the end."
