“Congrats to the team, they did us proud in Tunisia. Everyone worked very hard so that we can qualify and they did well. From now on, from the coach, they know what to do to prepare well for the Afcon because the competition is going to be difficult. Everyone needs to show up and obviously, the players need to step up, they saw what happened in the qualifiers, it was very difficult,” said the Bucs skipper.
