Nigeria-Denmark – O. Uche: “I feel bad after this match. I can't say right now what went wrong”

Okechukwu UCHE (5):

“I feel bad after this match. I can’t say right now what went wrong. I’ll have to see the video to understand. All I can say is that we kept on fighting and that we would have done even if we were losing 5-0.”

Sunday OLISEH (15):

“I think we lacked concentration. We didn’t manage to get organised on the pitch.”

Celestine BABAYARO (3):

“We thought we would beat DENMARK. Despite conceding 2 goals early in the game, we kept trying and we didn’t give up. Even though most of us are very disappointed, I’m personally pleased to have been here at all after the two operations I went through this year.”

Jay-Jay Austine OKOCHA (10):

“We have shown a lot of confidence since the start of the competition. But today’s defeat was not due to being over-confident, but to a lack of concentration and organisation.”

Victor IKPEBA (20):

“The Danes were stronger than us tactically. We weren’t alert enough at the start of the match. In life there are victories and defeats.”

Peter RUFAI (1):

“In the future, we’ll do better. Nonetheless, I’m satisfied with my performance. I can’t take responsibility for everybody else. Football is a team sport. The Olympic Games are not the same level as the World Cup. We were surprised at the start of the match. But we knew that DENMARK was a good team. We lost concentration, and that cost us the match.”
