We have a chance today as Africans because we have many talented players. It is true that we know players like Sadio Mané who’ve made a name out there as one of the best African players. But we also have a Nigerian team that has good players featuring in European matches. If you take a look at the Cameroonian team, it is well composed of good players too with players like Aboubakar Vincent._
