AFCON: Enugu fans disappointed with Super Eagles performance against Equatorial Guinea
By Benson Ezugwu
Football Fans in Enugu have expressed disappointment over the performance of the Super Eagles in their first group game at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.
In separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) after the 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea, some of the fans described the performance of the team as lacklustre and unconvincing.
The fans also blamed the current African Footballer of the year, Victor Osimhen for the draw, nothing that the Napoli forward missed several scoring opportunities.
Victor Ozoigbo, a fan of the Super Eagles, said the team’s performance was below expectation and that the players lacked commitment.
“The team looks ordinary and to me, I don’t see them going far in this tournament, and that will be a big shame for the country,” he said.
Another fan, Chinedu Eze, said he was not impressed with the team’s display against Equatorial Guinea.
“This is the worst team we have produced for Nation’s Cup; so, to me, they are not going anywhere,” he said.
However, a female fan, Ngozi Udegbunam, said she was hopeful that the team would learn from its mistake and bounce back.
“It is just the first game and they should not be judged so fast.
“In a tournament, teams improve with every match, so, I am convinced that the team will improve with more matches,” she said.
Udegbunam urged the handlers of the team to go back to the drawing board to identify their mistakes and make corrections before their next match. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
