However the coach says they will compete to get a favourable result, but he acknowledged that the Nigerian team is way better than his.
” We are here to compete. I have big respect for Nigeria, and what if I want to lie, I will say we can win on this ground, but I am realistic. We’re coming to compete with respect. We are Tanzania. We are more than 100 in the FIFA ranking.
“You cannot compare one team with another team. I respect and always, even if I can say we are here to compete, we’ll see tomorrow, but the tax will be very tough for us. I’m very very respectful, and I’m confident.
“I believe in my players, but I know what I have to face, and if we can win the game you can imagine the dancing in Tanzania. It will be history, but for Nigeria it’s the logical and it’s normal. We came here with a conviction. Like, I said, determination to compete, and after we see if if we can get some chances we can score”.
