During his after match press conference, the Frenchman pronounced the name “Nigeria” four times as though the team he had just played against were the Super Eagles.
“I am really proud of the moral and strength my team displayed today. That was what they showed also against Nigeria during the qualifiers,” Le Roy said.
When asked what was behind his Wednesday’s success against the Panthers of Gabon. The former Ghana and DR Congo coach chose Nigeria as response once more.
“Look, we are a young and unexposed team but right from the qualifying campaign my players proved that they can get to places. Imagine we were the only team who went to beat Nigeria on their home turf in Calabar after many decades. No other team had gone to Nigeria and defeat the Super Eagles there for many years.”
Responding to another question on whether he would go for a draw against Burkina Faso in the group’s final match which would seal Congo’s qualification to the knockout phase, Le Roy fumed, took off his glasses and said.
“I never prepare my team for a draw. That was exactly what I was told to do when we travelled to play Nigeria in Calabar. But I said no, that I wanted a win, which eventually happened,” he said.
