‘I’m very impressed and proud to be a Nigerian player fully. I’m looking forward to the best games already.We lost [against Algeria] but we tried our best to get a point from the game because in the last 10 minutes we pressured them well but we, however, failed to get the needed equalizer. It’s just a test game and I am sure the coaches have seen what we can improve on.So, now we are looking forward to our next game and most importantly our AFCON qualifiers next month.’ Kevin Akpoguma
