Nwankwo Kanu has taken heart over the decision of Portsmouth
stopping him from making a trip to Beijing, China, to watch
Dream Team IV in Saturday's Olympics soccer final against
Argentina.
Papillo had earlier told brilafm.net exclusively on Tuesday
that Pompey had refused an initial hint of releasing him to
attend the game, in which he would be a main inspiration for
the Nigerian team, as skipper of the Atlanta '96 winning squad,
but said he had no ill-feelings over the u-turn at Fratton
Park.
Instead of getting worked up over the decision, Kanu said
he knew the boys were good enough to win even in his absence.
"The team are good already. So, there’s nothing
I can tell them except to say that they should keep doing
what they are doing
.
"They should stay focused and committed, play every ball
like it is the last one and make sure they don't give their
opponents any space then hope for luck to go their way,"
Kanu said.
