NEWSSudan forward Eltaib optimistic of scaling Zambian hurdle 02-03-2012
Sudan forward Mudathir Eltaib has expressed optimism ahead of their quarter final clash on Saturday at the Estadio de Bata. The Desert Hawks are in the last eight of the championship for the first time since 1970, but the Al-Hilal forward is upbeat of their chances of a place at the last four at the expense of the highly rated Zambians. The 23-year old, whose brace against Burkina Faso proved crucial in their qualification to the knockout stage, insists they have the capacity to halt the Chipolopolos, also keen on a place at the last four for the first time since 1996. The Desert Hawks edged the Palancas Negras of Angola on goal difference after both sides finished on four points apiece. “I’m happy to have scored the goals that brought us this far. It was a collective effort of the playing body aided by our determination.” Nicknamed after Brazilian legend ‘Careca’ for his style of playe, the lanky striker added that they are battle-ready for the encounter with the unbeaten Zambians, who qualified as the top placed team in Group A. “We are very confident and the morale in our camp is very high. We are bracing up physically and mentally for the challenge. We are determined to reach the semi final and will do our best to achieve it.” The Al-Hilal forward is making his first appearance at the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations. |
