Nigeria/Guinea: Reactions - Guinea 1-0 Nigeria

Sunday Oliseh (Head Coach, Nigeria)
Personally, I'm very proud of the boys, they have given a good image of themselves in as much as that we did not go through. Africans will look at Nigeria in a brighter light. Is not a question of the tactics we chose for the game, we told the players to play well. We came out to win with a plan to stay compact and when we have the ball to play. Today, when we had the ball we didn't play.
The players are humans and at some point they break, and that is what happened. All I can say is that my players are humans and there is a limit that they can hold. For some morals reasons, they couldn't find it.
What did not go right is the fact that I think today somewhere inside it was difficult for the players to overcome some moral diffiuculties they have come across. This is an adult tournament and there are certain things which must be present if you want to go far and win the tournament, and that is what my players see is existing in other teams that we don't have in our team.
Mohamed Kanfory Bangoura (Head Coach, Guinea)
I'm very satisfied with the performance of the team. This is our first time at the tournament and we are in the quarter finals. We had a plan tactically and technically although there are some mistakes that we will have to work on ahead of the next game. It is a great joy and satisfaction, and we have to celebrate the victory. It was a difficult match but we are proud of the result.
