In the midst of the excitement around the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Tunisia's coach, Jalel Kadri, issued a strong message to football fans across the continent.
With a crucial match against Namibia on the horizon, Kadri evaluated his team's current state.
Kadri skillfully balanced optimism with caution, emphasizing that in the unforgiving arena of African football, no team should be underestimated.
“Namibia represent a serious opponent, and no team is to be underestimated in Africa, as the first matches have demonstrated. So we have to show them respect and play to the best of our abilities,” said Jalel Kadri.
“We aim to go as far as possible with this quality squad, seeking to win every match. It is essential to adopt a respectful attitude towards all our adversaries,” he added.
Tunisia will face Namibia tomorrow at 5 p.m. GMT. The Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in Korhogo will host the two teams in Group E.
