So, today is the final match of African Championship first phase, the match where we take on the team with the most trophies in Africa - Nigeria. This is surely our main threat in this competition, so I had some special preparations for this match.
Nigeria comes in this match as a country which played good games so far, they achieved five victories and only one loss in these 6 matches they have played so far.
However, Misr NT played excellent competition, the team achieved all six wins in their six matches with huge difference which means that we will surely remain at the first place after this match, even if we lose. Hopefully, this won't happen. This is the game I was looking forward to mostly, when I became an NT manager.
When it comes to previous meetings, Misr and Nigeria have played 21 matches and Misr won only 8 of them. I hope that we will lift this number to 10 or 11 at the end of this season.
After this match, the first 6 teams go into the second round where all the teams meet each other again, and then semifinals and the finals are played.
I will go back to the match itself now.
It is said that local people are very interested in watching this match and it is speculated that the arena we play in won't have enough seats to accommodate all the visitors.
Misr BB Basketball Association thus decided to organize the fan zone in front of the arena.
Additional psychologists were consulted and they are currently with the players, preparing them for the game.
This is why only manager of the team, Tarikz, appeared before the mass media :
"This is surely the most important game of this phase in the championship. The rival is a team which always gives the best to win in such a game. They are in a good shape, loss against Ghana won't impact them badly because they are mentally very strong. I have gathered the best players possible and only the fit and the ready will play today. I promise that we will make spectators even happier after this game."
We conclude that Misr clearly wants the victory here. We are going to find out the truth after 19.00. Come and join me on chat.
We are the best!
