By Esther Egbe
Super Eagles and Arsenal star Alex Iwobi was the player nominated to represent the National Team at Tuesday morning’s pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow’s Africa Cup of Nations third place play-off against Tunisia.
The attacking midfielder revealed that the Super Eagles want to leave the competition on a good note after their heartbreaking loss to Algeria in the semifinal.
”There is still one more game to play, we’ll like to go on a high and we’ll like to go out with a win,” Iwobi told pressmen .
”Even though we lost the semifinal, of course it hurts, there is no better place to put it right than in the third/fourth place play-off, so hopefully we can use our anger to try and win that game.
” Iwobi has insisted that the Super Eagles performed well at the Africa Cup of Nations and their unexpected loss to Madagascar was a wake-up call.
” Asked to touch on his best playing position for the Super Eagles, Iwobi said : ”In regards of my position wherever I’m told to play, whether it is on the left, whether it is on the right, whether it should be middle, I always play and give my best but growing up as a child I was used to playing the midfield role.
