a huge impact on the continent when they play in the 2016
Caf Confederations Cup.
The 18-year old defender who is entering his second season
as a professional footballer and an established member of
the Solid Miners’mfirst team has set his target for their
appearance on the continent.
“I want to play well and be recognized in Africa,” he told
Goal.
“This is my second season (as a professional) and I think I
have made improvements from the way I started last year.
“So when I play in the Confederations’ Cup, I want everyone to take note of me and I also hope that means us going far in the competition.”
When asked if he thinks he can cope with the level of football on the continent, given his limited experience, the youngster was full of confidence in his ability.
“I know I can cope, I believe I am ready. I have improved a
lot over the past year as a player and it has showed in the
way I have played against the top teams, especially
Enyimba in the Super 4.
“I believe in myself and I know I can cope when the time
comes,” he stressed.
Nasarawa United commence their continental campaign
with a home tie against Generation Foot of Cameroon next
weekend, and go to Douala for the return leg a fortnight
later.
