“I just want to appeal to them that this is their chance and they should not complain to me again. If they go there and mess up, I am a fan of them, and I was highly disappointed with the last performance they displayed at CHAN.

“After this, I won’t talk about the home-based Eagles again because we have been talking about the coach picking domestic league players, and he has done that now. This is their best chance to showcase their talents.”
