Seychelles want to shock “the best team in Africa” Nigeria
Seychelles may be the smallest nation in Africa but they still hope to
upset “the best team in Africa” Nigeria when both teams clash on
Saturday, according to coach Gavin Jeanne.
“We want to get the biggest shock in Africa (on Saturday),” declared
the coach of the Pirates of Seychelles.
“We don’t have as much talent as Nigeria have, we’re amateurs, but we
will try to get a result from this game.
“We have nothing to lose, we want to have fun against the best team in Africa.”
The coach, who was hired in March after working with his country’s U17
team, further said the Eagles have already shown his team some respect
by calling up their top stars in Europe for this AFCON qualifier.
“By coming down with their World Cup stars, they have already shown us
respect,” he said.
“We know it will be a difficult game for us, a battle between the
biggest country in Africa and the smallest.”
Nigeria are ranked 47th best team in Africa, have played at six World
Cups and won three AFCONS, while island-nation Seychelles who are
rated 188th in the world.
Nigeria and Seychelles lost their opening qualifier to South Africa
and Libya, respectively.
