Junior international Abdulahi Gero, who was massive in his Super Eagles debut against the Elephants of Cote D’ Ivoire at the weekend in Abidjan, Cote D’ Ivoire, said he gives thanks to the coaching crew and Nigerians for always believing in him and will never let them down.
Gero, who replaced Gomo Onduku in the second half of the encounter put up a five star performance that many at the Robert Champroux Stadium in Abidjan, in the Ivorian capital thought curtailed the home side from going forward for a decisive third goal. “I am happy that we qualified and am sure we will not disappoint the country at the tournament proper,” the Enugu Rangers forward said at the end of the match.
Nations Cup winner and the man who has been described as an Elephants killer, Sunday Mba, who also spoke at the end of the encounter said he was unlucky on the evening but was happy that the team made it to the CHAN finals in South Africa next year. “It’s not everyday that I will score against the Ivorians but I am happy that we made it to the finals and am sure whether am there or not the team will do well in South Africa.”
