What Bosso said ahead of Senegal U-20 fixture
According to Bosso, Senegal which are the reigning African champions(AFCON) are beatable. And he has no doubt that his boys are equal to the task and can execute the tournament.
âSenegal are beatable and I have no doubt about that. Like I said earlier, the more time we spend together, the better the team will get.
âWe will continue to work towards building a team that everyone will be proud of against Senegalâ Bosso was quoted by The Nation Nigeria.
The experienced tactician also admitted that the hard fought 1-0 win his team secured against South Sudan earlier this week acted like a motivating factor ahead of tonightâs blockbuster against Senegal.
âThe three points we got against South Sudan was like a motivating factor because we would have been bundled out of the tournament if we had lost that gameâ he added.
