Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has expressed his confidence that Nigeria will emerge victorious in their upcoming matches against South Africa and Benin Republic
Musa emphasized the importance of these games and the players’ awareness of what is at stake, urging them to give their all to secure victories.
“Everyone knows the importance of both games. The players understand what’s at stake, and I will want them to go all out and win both games,” the former Leicester City forward told the media.
Musa’s optimism comes despite his surprising exclusion from the squad for these qualifiers, a decision that shocked many Nigerian fans who had hoped his presence would add experience and flair to the team.
His belief in the team’s capability to perform well remains unwavering, highlighting his supportive role even from the sidelines.
The Super Eagles are set to face South Africa on June 7, followed by an away match against Benin Republic on June 10.
The team is currently under pressure, having only secured two points from their first two qualifying matches against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
This underlines the critical nature of the upcoming fixtures for Nigeria’s World Cup ambitions.
