Football fans in Nigeria have been assured that the Super Eagles will go
for victory when they confront the Pharaohs of Egypt in the 2017 AFCON
qualifying match at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna on Friday, 25
March.
Glo ambassador and Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses who made this
remark while speaking during a courtesy visit to Globacom in Lagos on
Monday, also said the Super Eagles players will play as one united team
with the determination to win and make Nigeria proud.
“The Egyptians are leading the group currently, but we will work hard to
pick the three points in Kaduna and go for a win or draw in the return
leg in Cairo. This will make it easy for us to qualify from the group,”
Moses added.
The West Ham United player also dispelled rumours making the round that
the recent change in the coaching crew will affect the team.
He noted that “the current Super Eagles comprise both experienced and
upcoming players. I am optimistic that we will blend and play to win
under the guidance of our coaches; so there is no cause for alarm.”
On the invitation of upcoming players to the team, Moses said “we will
help the new boys to settle down quickly and give them confidence to
excel in the national team colours. Other countries like Spain and
England are also doing it to strengthen their teams and Nigeria is not
an exception. It will also give the coaches more talents to utilize as
they try to build a winning squad.”
The match is the first leg of a Group D, 2017 African Cup of Nations
round-robin encounter which will see the Super Eagles traveling to Cairo
on 29 March for the return leg.
Globacom is the official telecommunications partner of the Nigerian
Football Federation and the major sponsor of the Nigerian national
teams.
