We won’t defend AAG win against Gabon- Sokari


Nigeria’s under-23 Olympic team attacking midfielder Kingsley Sokari has said his side will not defend the 4-1 win in Libreville against the Gabonese under-23 Olympic side.
The nation’s campaigners will host the West African foes on Saturday in Abuja in the 2015 All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville reverse qualifying match.

Sokari said his side are determined to have a repeat performance when both sides clash on
Saturday in Abuja.
“We’ve prepared adequately and are quite set for the clash against the Gabonese side on Saturday in Abuja.
“Of course, we’re not going to defend the 4-1 win in Libreville but will be going all out for a repeat performance.
“For us, winning the clash convincingly is key as it’ll further boost our confidence in subsequent matches.
“We’ve not reached the set target which is the qualification ticket for All Africa Games and Olympics so we won’t entertain any form of complacency.
“The mood among my teammates is quite high and waiting for match day to unleash their full weight on the Gabonese.
“Everybody has worked very hard for the encounter and it’s going to be a sweet weekend for Nigerians,” said the Enyimba goal poacher to supersport.com.
Nigeria did not qualify for the football event of the 2011 All Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique.
