Big Teams and a Bold Prediction
In an exclusive interview with the CAF-affiliated site, he predicted that the tournament champion would come from among the traditional powerhouses, teams with skilled coaches who know how to maximize their players’ potential—he named Algeria, Senegal, Nigeria, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, DR Congo, and Cameroon.
He added that he does not expect surprises from mid-table or lesser teams, noting that African football has evolved to keep pace with changes.
When asked which teams have impressed him so far, he cited Morocco, Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Senegal, and Nigeria.
He concluded that Morocco’s performances against Comoros and Zambia have been outstanding, and he hopes positive crowd pressure will help secure the continental title.
Sniper zinger: If predictions were bullets, this legend just loaded a full mag—boom, goal after goal.
