Michael Mokongo: "We need more rigour"

Personally you are a leader of this team, what is your role in the game?

I am here to lead this team as far as possible. Now we need all the other players raise their level because in the quarter-finals we will need everyone. I ask my teamates to increase their intensity, play harder because now we have to raise their heads and play to win.

You will play Nigeria in the quarter finals, what analysis do you do with this game?
We don’t know very well Nigeria team. We will see videos and then we will know how to play.

What is your goal in this Afrobasket?
It is to be in the podium. Then, once you are guaranteed to be in the podium we will target the highest place. But for now there is the game against Nigeria, it is the most important and we will focus on.
