During a press conference ahead of the game, Bojang admitted that Flying Eagles is a good team but insist they are ready for the game.
“It is going to be a tactical battle.
“We will respect them and put up a respectable performance on the pitch on Monday.

“Nigeria is the only team standing between us and the final. We want to be champions and that can only happen when we beat a champion,” Bojang said.
“We are a committed team but we must do everything we can to win and reach the final”, he said.
