Super Eagles forward Akor Adams has said that Nigeria will quickly recover from their disappointing 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that the defeat has left the Super Eagles with work to do, Adams stated that the players have accepted responsibility for their poor showing and are focused on making the necessary corrections.
Expressing his frustration with the condition of the playing surface at the September 24 Stadium, Akor was quick to dismiss the pitch as an excuse for Nigeria’s defeat.
His words, “It’s not a game we should lose, and we have to take responsibility for that.
We have taken responsibility for it. It’s a game we prepared very well for. We knew how important it was to us in the qualification phase.
Looking back, we are already making corrections to what happened in the game. In football, we were on the bad side on that day as a group and as a team.
We know our possibilities and how good we can be when we are at our best.
That wasn’t our best day. It’s something we have to take responsibility for. I think a good pitch should be the bare minimum for African football. We all know this. I’m not making any excuses, and I would not make excuses.
We are professionals, and we should know that there are a lot of things that come with the game.
The weather, the referee, whatever the circumstances, we should be able to find our way. But a good pitch should be the bare minimum for how big African football is, and that was not the case on that day.”
