Former Super Eagles winger Finidi George has disagreed with the opinion of Ex teammate and former Coach of the Super Eagles Samson Siasia that the Eagles do not have what it takes to win the AFCON in Egypt.
Finidi while reacting to Siasia’s comment on Sports247 noted that although countries like Cameroon, Egypt and Senegal look favourites on paper, he believes the expansion of the competition will offer plenty of surprises.
“We have to focus on ourselves going into the competition and if the cohesion among the players is right then everything is possible.
“Of course we have a big chance of winning the tournament because we have a great team to do that but we should be prepared to face tough competitions from the likes of Egypt, Cameroon, Senegal and even Morocco.
“The boys must just learn to take their chances when it comes because football is all about taking your chances at decisive moments,” Finidi concluded.
