Leone Stars head coach, John Keister, is determined to lead his team to victory against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Keister knows that his team must win the game to keep their hopes of reaching Cote d’Ivoire 2023 alive.
The Leone Stars face a daunting task against the Super Eagles, who are desperate to win back fans’ support after some disappointing results in recent times. Sierra Leone also have a poor record against the Super Eagles, winning just two of their 17 previous meetings.
Keister, however, is ready to put that aside as his team battles for three points in the crucial encounter. “We know this is a match that we need to win, and therefore we have to be positive in our approach against a difficult Nigerian side – and we will definitely be,” Keister told Football Sierra Leone.
“We are a young group, but there is just this feeling that we can come here and get a result against Nigeria. It’s going to be a fight. We are ready to deal with whatever is thrown at us. Football is about the day who wants it the most.”
The encounter at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium in Monrovia promises to be a thrilling one, with both teams looking to secure a win. The Super Eagles will be looking to bounce back from their recent poor performances, while the Leone Stars will be hoping to cause an upset.
As with any football match, it’s all about who wants it more on the day. The players will need to be focused and determined to secure the three points. The match promises to be a battle of skill, strength, and endurance.
In the end, it will come down to which team can outsmart and outplay the other. The fans can expect an exciting and intense game of football, with both teams giving it their all. The encounter kicks off at 5 pm Nigeria time, and fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this critical match.
