Adams also said that he was proud of Eric Chelle’s side for winning the AFCON bronze medal.
Recall that the Super Eagles won six out of their seven matches at the AFCON.
Their only defeat was against the host nation, Morocco, as they lost 4-2 in the penalty shoot-out.
Chelle’s men defeated Tanzania, Uganda, Tunisia, Mozambique, Algeria and Egypt.
“We are the best team, we came for the gold but we didn’t take it . But we are proud of what we have been able to achieve,” Adams said.
“Everybody is going home with a better friendship with the next person. We are all grateful to Eric Chelle for what he has done for us as a group in the last three weeks. We are better people because of Chelle.”
