“I think they struggled with the weather a bit in their first game. It’s not easy to play at 2pm here. Teams struggled even when they in the evening, so you can imagine how difficult it was for them.”
“So, we are not going to judge them with the performance against Equatorial Guinea.
“It’s not going to be an easy game for us. They are a tough opponent and will make things difficult for us.”
