Seedorf Ahead of Nigeria Clash: Winning is My Second Skin

AFCON title holders Cameroon’s coach Clarence Seedorf cuts a buoyant figure ahead of his side’s make or break meeting with Nigeria.

Both sides face a moment of truth but erstwhile AC Milan legend insists winning is his second skin, pointing out he’s under no pressure to deliver.

“We don’t want to come into this match with a lot of stress, we want to leave that part to the supporters,” the 43-year-old, being assisted by compatriot Kluivert says ahead of today’s must-watch showdown.

The Indomitable Lions have yet to put up a convincing defense of their title, qualifying to the knockout stage with just a solitary win and on five points having picked up a point each from their two previous draws.

Skipper Andre Onana exudes a different tone, admitting Nigeria are a familiar foe and that it would be a tough duel.

“I expect a strong game and very tough. It will be a battle of equals and we just have to show we are stronger than them.”

“I was born ready for such games and I don’t fear facing anyone. We lost against them before but that’s in the past. I am confident about the present,” he said.
