AFCON: Goals Will Come In Torrents – Super Eagles Assure Nigerians

The Super Eagles have reassured Nigerians that a deluge of goals is imminent as the team prepares to face Angola in the quarterfinals of the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.

Babafemi Raji, the team’s media officer, provided this assurance in a Friday morning interview ahead of the Angola clash.

Despite Jose Peseiro’s side scoring only five goals in the tournament, with matches resulting in a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea, 1-0 victories over Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau, and a 2-0 win against Cameroon, Raji expressed confidence in Peseiro's attacking tactics.

Discussing Peseiro’s strategies for the Angola clash and the team’s goal-scoring record in the tournament, Raji explained, “Peseiro likes to play attacking football. He likes to keep possession of the ball. He likes to play the ball around. The goals will come in torrents. What Peseiro likes is beautiful and attacking football.”

Lewis Hamilton To Leave Mercedes And Join Ferrari For 2025 Formula 1 Season

In a surprising turn of events, Lewis Hamilton is set to join Ferrari in the upcoming F1 season, taking over Carlos Sainz's position. Despite having a valid two-year contract with Mercedes until the end of 2025, Hamilton will part ways with the team after the current season.

The seven-time world champion, boasting 103 wins and 104 pole positions, has been the most successful driver in F1 history. The 2024 F1 season starts with the Bahrain Grand Prix and runs from February 28 to March 2.

Hamilton, who moved to Mercedes from McLaren in 2013 and secured six world titles with the team, had previously been linked to Ferrari for the current year. However, he opted to sign a new two-year contract last summer, alongside Mercedes teammate George Russell, committing to stay with Mercedes until the end of 2025.

Despite not winning a race since December 2021, Hamilton's departure from Mercedes marks a significant shift in the F1 landscape. The news is expected to be communicated to Mercedes employees in Brackley today before an official announcement.
