Flying Eagles gaffer, Ladan Bosso has dedicated Nigeria’s win over Argentina to the country’s new President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Fielding questions from reporters after the match, Bosso maintained that the entire team remain humble in victory, adding that the new breath of fresh hair in Nigeria has continue to rub on the entire team.
“In the first place we need to appreciate what God has done for us, it is not by our power, it is not by our strength. We are being focused and above all we have always looked up to God because He giveth and taketh.
“The most important thing is for us to be focused just like what I told my boys now. They should remain humble even in victory and of course the journey has just started. The more we go far the better chances for them to sell themselves to the global world.
“Most importantly, a lot of people never gave us the chance and I always say to my boys that we are here to put smiles once again to the faces of Nigerians and that is the process.
“We can see that there is a new democratic system, from the presidency to the governors and down the ladder. I want to emphatically say today that I dedicate this win today to the new president Asiwaju Tinubu himself.
“We have promised that we will continue to do our best to make sure that this team is going to be the first team to give him a trophy in his office as a president and we’ll continue to work on that.”
Commenting on Nigeria’s chances in the quarter-finals, Bosso said his boys will remain focussed while the coaching crew wait for the pairing
“The quarterfinal stage I think that I have said it earlier in Abuja when the pairing was done. The harsher you start, the easier the end.
“I believe there’s no team that we’ll face that is more difficult than Italy, Brazil and even the host country. If we are able to remain humble, to remain focused, to concentrate on what we are here for, it is going to be easy for us, ” he said
