Ebere Akanno, a player for the Team Lush , expressed his excitement after their thrilling draw against Reality Pro, highlighting how he played a pivotal role in motivating the team to recover from a 2-goal deficit.
“It was a great game, and to God be the glory, it ended in a draw. I give thanks to my team; they did a great job, teamwork, and it played out. We were two goals down, but we never gave up the spirit and fighting. At the end of the day, we got a draw,” Ebere gushed during a post-match interview with Sports 247.
When asked about his mindset when he was brought into the game, knowing that his team was 2 goals down, he responded, “When the coach was about to bring me in, he told me I should just go in there and play my game upfront, try to disturb the defenders, which is what I did. Because seeing the atmosphere, the team was a bit down, strength-wise. Being 2 goals up, they thought they could relax. I got in there, and I did my best. My team also supported, and we got a draw at the end of the game.”
His personal target is to win the tournament with the team, showcasing his commitment to the collective success of the Lush team.
