Coach of Nigeria’s U-23 side, Samson Siasia, has vowed to defeat their Congolese counterparts, when both teams meet in an African U-23 Championship qualifier on Sunday.
Claude LeRoy’s boys dumped out Ghana to reach this stage and will qualify for the championship, which also serves as an Olympic qualifier for Rio 2016.
“I am very confident that Nigerians who will troop out en masse to see our match on Sunday will see one of the best displays ever by the Dream Team,” Siasia told the media at the Hotel Presidential abode of the team.
“As a team, my boys have always created chances, but our greatest problem has been to convert these chances to goals.
“We have been doing a lot of work in this critical area and if what I have seen in training of recent is anything to go by, then I can assure Nigerians that these boys will make them proud by scoring enough goals against the Congolese come Sunday.”
The match will be played at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
