“Also, of course, we have a very good coach and technical staff that can prepare us well for each game as it comes.
"And I think for us we have individual players who can individually win games for us. The likes of Kelechi, Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi, myself, Paul and rest of the of the squad.
“And I know of course, that a lot is being expected from this team regardless of the fact that we’re young.
