Daniel Ogunmodede, the assistant coach of the Super Eagles, has stated that the team is fully prepared for their upcoming match against Senegal, according to Completessports. The Eagles are set to face the reigning champions in their opening match of the 2024 African Nations Championship next Tuesday. This Group B match will take place at the Amman Stadium in Zanzibar. Ogunmodede stated that they are prepared to challenge the title holders. “Naturally, Senegal, being the defending champions, will be motivated to maintain their title.” “We’re prepared to challenge them strongly,” Ogunmodede stated in an interview with ESPN. The Home Eagles are set to return to the tournament after missing the last two seasons. Ogunmodede expressed the team’s desire to secure the trophy this time, having previously finished as runners-up and in third place. “We’ve experienced coming in third and we’ve also come close with a silver medal.” “We aim to win the gold,” Ogunmodede stated. “Our goal is to secure the gold medal.” A few months back, while training, Rabiu Ali made a light-hearted comment to the players, mentioning that they’ve previously achieved third and second places in this competition, but this time they should strive for the top position. “That comment resonated with me, as it reflects the seriousness with which the players are approaching this.” Authored by Adeboye Amosu
