LIBREVILLE (Reuters) - Hosts Gabon must overcome nerves and a little-known opponent as they seek to get off to a winning start when the African Nations Cup finals opens with two matches on Saturday. “There is a lot of pressure but it’s a positive to be playing at home. We have some stress but also a lot of determination,” Gabon defender Bruno Ecuele Manga said on the eve of their match against newcomers Guinea Bissau.
Gabon’s opponents are seeking to continue the fairytale run they had through the qualifiers.
