 You're welcome back to the breakfast. So the final lap of our conversation will be talking sports and our focus is the Tigress They really have continued their on-bitten run in the FIBA women's Afro basket I'm basically I'm securing a 70 to 56 queen overcoat. They were in that match hold that held in your own day Cameroon Let's not invite a sports analyst. Mr. Femi Adifasso for more details. Good morning Good morning Fantastic, I want us to talk about the Tigress and that on-bitten run and in person is Nekalu and how she's fed so far Look at the fact of that. But what I was abdicating to last year and coming to stardom for the Nigerian Tigress I never think they've ever looked back. Every time I met her, she's been a leading scorer And she's doing the same right here and she's been part of the two Afro basket We won the 27th and the 29th and she's here now leading the team Best in order to do scoring the basket ball helping the team make the best plays and we are here now So we are playing in Senegal team that we haven't lost in the last four meetings Last time we lost to Senegal was in 2011 With money to be getting all through Yoram for time before So it seems like in Nigeria we have got a number So I'm actually considering that we can get something out of this and qualify for the final and hopefully we can retouch it What would this mean for the Tigress if they eventually get to the finals and win it? How much would this mean to them? Everything, everything, because we got at the same value that has won this tournament 11 times And Nigeria is going to be minus 4 We won 2 out of the road now, the last two we won was in 2003 and 2005 So for me, in Senegal with G, clearly shows we have been netted and we are not on our page or level And then if I take these nine out of the four, I'm going to continue to have some power Equal the other record of 11 titles and continue to don't lose the African team Okay, how about the men, the Tigress, how would you rate their own performance so far? Honestly, if you look at the climbers, they are very different Maybe they are even more smart than the men, which are not the only men Interesting, if you went to the Afro-Basque, how would you rate their own performance so far? I would tell you that would be a good one, coming back to the Afro-Basque But we lost to Kutibuwa, we lost to Ivory Coast, Sweden, I think we won We lost to Uganda, and Uganda was like the next one to my daughter and she was very disappointing For all the Afro-Basque, for the country and for the continent as well Because we felt we were going to a place where we could begin to dominate our own scene So unlike the women, we demand IGU help at the moment, but hopefully we will use the bounce back I also want you to talk, once again, still on the Tigress and their growth so far What would you say has changed in the last few years that has given them the excellence that they currently are experiencing The ability to play this good, now in 2021 Has there been a change in their coaching, a change in the motivation, or just a better team? I think we are seeing all these things I would take us back to June 13th, when we lost as the quarter final to Mozambique We were always on the planet at the time Then the next tournament in 2015 was Cameroon We got to the semi-finals, losing by one point to the host, Cameroon And we are by the way hosting the tournament this time around And we managed to win third place in terms of going up Then the next tournament, we will play for that, and then to the final In Bamako 10-10 and win, and then win again In 2019, we said about, I will go to the tournament to be the home on our way to the championship So you can see there is a consistent rise in performance And the personnel hasn't changed so much You have to like to say that Buki won against the 2011 Adora alone won against the 2013 as well Even if I look at me in 2016, I should see a part of the team now in 2021 So I think continuity has worked best We managed to change coaches, two different coaches won on the tournament in 2016 And 2019 But I think it is a factor of keeping the core of the team And ensuring that we fortified where some old legs drop off Or some are out with injuries or other commitments So there is a new gap that we look for And I think that is the key to the success And these are the things I have enjoyed in the last couple of tournaments and this year too So in the post-match press conference, the Nigerian coach Otis Basically just lay his heart to bear Talking about the officiating in the match He said that there is some politics, some favouritism that is going on And the players are knocked over no foul Tell us more about that Do you really see where he is coming from? Well, I understand the 20 minutes But I also think Mr. Pouya has been here on the continent Africa has been really different If you are more physical Here you have to be practically aware and superior But we need that energy The atmosphere is always very thin Sometimes I don't even know if it is at all Because of the energy that comes from the fans Sometimes, here are humans too To the maximum of these earths Tell us the time where you are coming from But every other athlete at the tournament I have the same complaint Because the continentals haven't been as smooth But that's not to say that everyone wants to know what they are doing So I share it with Mr. Pouya But at the end of the day You look at it as if Mr. Pouya is going to stay here It's not how he is going to stay in the US Or you Which is a bit more of a net of physicality But it's always been this way Actually to the end of the day So I think Mr. Pouya Like I mentioned earlier To be humanly at their own To do everything to win the title To be physical like that Right in front of their own crowd In the finals In a stadium that was filled with capacity For us to move Spectators That has come to watch The basketball game in the history of Africa Because the stadium was filled with capacity People were out there They had to leave the giant screen And we had been able to go through all the rigors of that The Images champion So I think we should play less at that We shouldn't worry too much about football Football is on the game Try and do our best to go with it I'm not allowed to get into our head at all Alright Thank you so much For your time this morning Thank you We wish the Tigers the best And we hope that of course Add this to their list of Victories and trophies In just a few weeks Good morning once again Yeah, we appreciate your being here Absolutely And that's it here on the breakfast The final edition for this week In the month of September We're very excited to have wrapped up the week With such a high note Regarding the good news with the Tigers And we hope that they keep coming home With good news And yes Sam, it's a wrap here Thank you very much for staying with us All through from 7am this morning My name is Annette Felix Still a few more editions of the breakfast In the month of September So we'll be back here next week To wrap up the month If you missed out on any of these editions Remember to catch up on our YouTube channel Which is at Plus TV Africa But also social media Facebook and Instagram At Plus TV Africa also I am Osaugi Ogbao Bye bye
