We don’t underrate our opponent we want to give them the respect they deserve also as a team. Of course the boys are ready to give their all come Friday and also the second leg in Guinea-Bissau, I’m looking forward to the game and contribute to the team.”

“I want to promise that we will try everything possible to get the win and of course I would like to contribute with a lot of goals and couple of assists and of course the team come first and I want to assure that they will give everything to make sure the fans are happy by getting the win and getting qualification to the next AFCON. I don’t care being the highest goal scorer in the qualification because the team comes first but if I end up the highest goal scorer it will be an amazing thing for me but the team comes first. I want to say thank you very much for your support, thank you for sticking with me most especially your support throughout the years. I know we might have let you down in the past I want to say we will do everything in our power to make sure that we win your love back,“ he added.
