Nice coach Francesco Farioli has revealed that Nigerian striker Terem Moffi was disappointed about not being included in Nigeria’s squad for the CAN. Is it a blessing in disguise for Nice? Farioli, however, has mixed feelings about it. « I have two different feelings (about Moffi’s absence in the CAN). On one hand, I have regrets because Terem Moffi was really eager to represent his country, his family, and his friends. But on the other hand, he is our best signing in January, and we are happy to have him with us. »
He added that despite his disappointment, the player is fully focused in training. « He has trained with a very positive mindset, with the desire to perform well and contribute to the team. We can see that he is very concentrated and determined… The disappointment is behind him, and he is now focused on the upcoming match, » he concluded.
