Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, a top nominee for the 2023 Ballon d’Or, remains resolute in his commitment to the Nigerian national team as they prepare to face Sao Tome and Principe in an important qualifying match.
The prolific Napoli forward, who netted four goals in their previous encounter, asserts that overconfidence is not an issue for the Super Eagles.
Osimhen acknowledged the team’s preparedness and emphasized that they are taking the upcoming game seriously, despite having beaten Sao Tome 10-0 in a previous match in Morocco.
He stressed the need for caution, citing past defeats against underestimated opponents like Guinea Bissau and the Central African Republic.
In addition to discussing the team’s mindset, Osimhen also shared his positive experiences with the facilities and atmosphere at Uyo stadium compared to Abuja and Lagos. He praised the accommodating nature of Uyo, its passionate fans, and the city’s hospitality.
Excitement was palpable in Osimhen’s words as he congratulated debutants Gift Orban, Jordan Torunarigha, and Victor Boniface, acknowledging their stellar performances for their respective club sides.
Despite Sao Tome’s 17-game winless streak and his personal success against them, Osimhen remained humble and team-focused. He emphasized his dedication to the collective goal of securing victory for Nigeria and putting smiles on the faces of Nigerians.
With Osimhen’s determination and the team’s unwavering focus, the Super Eagles are gearing up for an exciting clash against Sao Tome, aiming to end the qualifying campaign on a high note and continue their journey towards the World Cup qualifiers.
As fans eagerly anticipate the match, Osimhen’s commitment to the team’s success serves as a source of inspiration and confidence for the Super Eagles.
