Captain of the Uganda U20 team has boasted that his team will use today’s U20 Africa Cup of Nations quarter final game against Nigeria to write a new chapter in the history of football in the country.
Nigeria will later today battle the Junior Cranes in the quarter final of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations with the winner not only qualifying for the semi final but also a ticket to be at the U20 World Cup which will take place in Indonesia.
Isma Mugulusi said they will head into the game with the intention of picking up a win which will guarantee them a spot at the World Cup. He said they have come this far and don’t see any way the Nigerian team can stop them from making history.
“We are ready, everyone is in shape, we’re mentally good. We’ve tried to put what the coach wants in practice. I think we can overcome Nigeria in the quarter-finals,” the Makedonikos FC attacker said during the pre match presser.
“We are told and we have been assisted by the coaches and other players who visited our camp like former Cranes goalkeeper and captain Dennis Onyango and former Hippos captain Gavin Kizito to eat the grass so I think tomorrow we will eat the grass.
“In this team everyone is a captain. It’s not only me so it’s not something big though I am the one who wears the armband but everyone is a leader in our team.”
