Super Eagles right back, Solomon Kwambe has expressed delight over his
prospect of filing out for the team in Wednesday’s semi final match of
the 2014 CAF African Nations Championship in Mangaung.
The Sunshine Stars of Akure player watched from the Cape Town Stadium
stands as his teammates recover from a 3-0 first half deficit to
overhaul Atlas Lions of Morocco in the seven-goal thriller first quarter
final match of the CHAN 2014 competition.
“It was an agonizing moment for me when we went down 3-0 in the first half.
“I felt bad because I thought my tournament was over. I felt sad because
I could have played a part in the game if not for my red card in the
South Africa game.
“But I give credit to my teammates who came back in the second half to cancel the goals and still won the game.
“They are wonderful and I sincerely salute them. At least I will still
have to play a part in the competition”, Kwambe told Complete Sports at
their Garden Court De Waal camp.
Kwambe sounded optimistic about Super Eagles chances of running home with the CHAN trophy.
“Yes, if you check the feeling of the players here you can understand we are in very high spirit about the cup.
“This is our first attempt in the competition but we are determined to make the best out of it”.
He said playing in the coming summer FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil will be a dream comes true for him.
“It’s my desire to make the Super Eagles list for the World Cup in
Brazil and I’m working hard towards it because World Cup is the dream of
every player and I’m no exception”.
