Ahmed Musa says the Super Eagles gave 100 per cent against Tunisia but it was not enough to see them progress to the quarter-finals.
Despite going into the game as underdogs, the Carthage Eagles pipped the Eagles 1-0 thanks to Youssef Msakni’s strike.
Both teams went into the contest in contrasting fashion as the Eagles won all their three group games while Tunisia emerged as one of the third best placed teams.
And reacting to the disappointing ouster of the Eagles from the competition, Musa assured football fans that the team will bounce back.
He wrote on Twitter:”In life, things wouldn’t always go the way we want them to and that’s something we have to accept however hard it is. We gave our 100% & unfortunately that wasn’t good enough to take us through.
Balotelli returns to Italy National Team after three-year absence
Former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has officially been called up by Italy coach Roberto Mancini for this international break.
Balotelli who is currently with Adana Demirspor in Turkey, has received his first Azzurri call up since September 2018, when he played 62 minutes of a 1-1 draw against Poland in the UEFA Nations League.
Mancini knows Balotelli well, with the pair having history together at both Inter and Manchester City. Whilst they developed a strong relationship, the player’s off-field antics often distracted from his potential on the pitch.
