The Carthage Eagles’ danger man is happy he and his teammates are beginning to prove doubters wrong
Tunisia captain Wahbi Khazri has branded their style of play against Ghana in Monday’s Round 16 tie at the Africa Cup of Nations as ‘men’s football’.
Tunisia broke the deadlock five minutes after Khazri came on as a substitute for Anice Badri, and even though the Black Stars got a late equaliser and dragged the game into a penalty shootout, it was the Carthage Eagles who emerged victorious.
While Tunisia have pulled through to the Afcon quarterfinals for the first time since 2004, coach Alan Giresse’s men have been heavily criticised, especially for their sloppy display in the Group Phase, where they played out three draws.
