First choice keeper and skipper of the Super Eagles at the ongoing CHAN African Nations tourney, Chigozie Agbim, has pleaded with Nigerian fans to forgive his floppy display in the first two games of the championship so far, assuring them that he will be better in subsequent encounters.
A sober Agbim, who spoke at the team’s Garden Court De Waal Hotel abode in Cape Town, said he was the most disappointed individual at the display and said that if given the chance to continue as the number one goalie of the national team, he will make up for past mistakes.
“No goalkeeper in the world will be happy to concede cheap goals and for a keeper of my calibre, I am most disappointed than anyone else but that is football and I can’t dwell on the past. I have to forget and plead with fans of the game to understand and forgive so that we can jointly forge ahead. I promise that I will do better next time and it’s a promise I wish to keep,” he said.
The Rangers man conceded two quick goals on Wednesday against the Mambas of Mozambique.
