The Executive Director of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Dr. Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai, has expressed his heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Sierra Leoneans for throwing their support behind Leone Stars until they could beat Ivory Coast 1-0 in an impressive Afcon return leg show in Liberia on Tuesday.
On Friday, when Leone Stars succumbed to a 4-1 loss against the Ivorians, the NSA Boss was quick to apologise to Sierra Leonean fans for the poor result and said all was not lost. He appealed for a new hope.
That call for rekindled spirits resonated with his motivation of the Leone Stars players to give the return leg match their all.
Tuesday’s win spoke to his resilience in the face of trial and his equanimity in his display of leadership.
The win is a composition of good leadership and unfettered determination to penetrate the walls of the African Nation’s Cup Defending Champions.
From hopelessness at the peak of horror to hope on the lush meadow, Dr. Saffa Abdulai has seen the Leone Stars through.
