the fundamental difference is at first that you have much more players for the selection in Nigeria they're playing everywhere around the world and in big leagues also and uh so it was not easy to to do the list of 23 because we could do sometimes a list of uh 50 or 60 uh that is the first thing then uh I must say in Ben in Republic it's a small country you only have 12 million people in Legos not far away you have I think 20 million so uh you see the life is more quiet the people are good people honest people like in Nigeria also the same mentality but it's closer to France and in football I must say that they have a good organization in the league they have 20 stadiums all the same not like like this but good infrastructures and even for the Federation we cannot play actually in our Stadium because uh it's no more homologated they're making the grass they're making around the stadium everything but it will come we have a new sports Minister a young one he's with us here and uh everybody want to go forward and our team is a age average of 24.5 which is a good one you remember with Nigeria in the World Cup we had the youngest team in the world cup so we found good under 20 players they're coming in the team now and with the time they will go better and better yeah you are no more small teams it's everything is possible you see that uh uh also in the afcon a lot of surprises and uh I was happy for Nigeria to go until the final of course but uh you have seen small teams like morania uh mozek who eliminated been in in the qualifiers everybody is playing a good football they're working hard and it's very very difficult to beat the small teams there are no more small teams so uh oh we know that we are Outsider that is normal but the to be Outsider can be sometimes an advantage I think it's good to have uh a coach who knows the players and Austin knows them very well he had some experiences in the the afcon when I left and in the tried to go to the World Cup so I think that we learn of these things who happened and uh I saw that a German coach should come but could not I would be happy also to say hello to in my language and my mother language or father language to to Bruno labadia but it didn't work so I think it's an advantage to have a coach who knows the players that's why uh Austin uan I think uh we'll have a work which is easier than the work would have been for V labadia March was here also against Tanzania we won it and then uh even we had to go to Zambia for the world and we won it so we started with victories here against the teams you spoke about the victory against Cameroon 4-0 there were fresh African Champions this one was a big one was particularly uh wonderful for us but the victory against Zambia 1 Z which give us the qualification for the World Cup was the best one and even after remember we go to Algeria we made a good match a draw but we lost it on the Green carpet to remember but we were already cified
