Lookman said that the Super Eagles are prepared for the challenge and will give it their all to defeat Pedro Goncalves’ team.
Lookman told reporters, “We have worked incredibly hard to get to this point in the competition and we will keep working hard to reach our goal.”
“We want to bring the trophy home with us.” Although we are aware that we are not there yet, it is still attainable.
Even before the competition officially begins, we are aware of the strength of the Angolan team. They have a strong roster with many talented players, and they have performed well here.
