The former Enyimba coach doesn’t agree with the notion that the Lions will destabilize the Eagles’ set-up with their physical strength.“They may have the physical strength but we have the mental strength which for me far outweighs their own kind of strength,” Salisu told TheCable.
“Being physical and aggressive is the strength of the Cameroonian team but they still have their weaknesses here and there. But if you watch more critically, we have much strength than them.” Yusuf told TheCable that he was not shocked by Cameroon’s success at the recently concluded African Cup of Nations (AFCON). “It was a tournament and the Cameroonian team fought for. Even at the beginning of the tournament, nobody gave them any chance of winning the cup.
Sometimes, you know that a team can just pick up as the tournament progresses and win the championship.“We know that they have their strengths, we also know that they have their weaknesses and we are going to exploit their weaknesses.“We are not scared of them but we will respect them as African champion. We will work out something to overpower them.”.
