    THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2015 SPORTS Balboa is a hero from afar MALABO: Javier Balboa may have only first visited the country of his parents birth in 2007 but the Spain-born winger’s goals have made him a national hero as they have helped Equatorial Guinea secure an Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against Ghana in Malabo Thursday. “I’ve always felt very loved in the country,” said Balboa, who plays for Portuguese club Estoril, in an interview with AFP. “Obviously, scoring two goals (against Tunisia in a 2-1 quarter-final victory) ... I became the reference for the public, but it’s a team job.” Balboa, 29, also scored a penalty against Gabon and is joint leading scorer in the tournament with Tunisian Ahmed Akaichi and Congolese Thievy Bifouma with three goals each. Born in Madrid to Equatoguinean parents, Balboa says it is nice to “play where you are loved, and here (Equatorial Guinea) I feel very loved.” But his relationship with Equatorial Guinea is tenu- ous. He does not speak the vernacular of this small for- mer Spanish colony. “I am sorry because my parents always spoke Spanish, but it was the music and the African atmosphere at home,” he recalled. He explains his tardiness in first visiting Equatorial Guinea-to make his debut for the national team-as being down to his parents reluctance to move from Spain. “I never had the opportunity to come here because my parents have always remained in Spain.” Vice-cap- tain of the ‘National Thunder’ behind Middlesbrough striker Emilio Nsue, Balboa is among the oldest players in the squad.

The Germans, champions in 2009, were not there to defend the title. Nor were the Dutch and Italians, winners of the three previous tournaments. Iceland, who had fi nished their qualifying group ahead of Germany, were making their debut. And the Swiss were back for the fi rst time since 2004. Only three of the 2009 fi nalists were in Denmark – and the surprises continued when the ball started rolling at the four venues in Jutland. In Group A, the hosts – an unknown quantity as they had not needed to play their way through qualifying rounds – opened with a 1-0 loss against the Swiss, despite fervent support from a huge crowd in Aalborg.
