“I believe that that competition needs to be more respected – because this competition is as important as the European Championships.”

He also challenged more European journalists to take a greater interest in the event and appreciate exactly what it means for the African continent.

“It might be important for you guys to cover the Africa Cup of Nations a little bit more and to go to Africa and interview people to really understand what it means for every single one of them,” he concluded.
