Yes oh dear friends and lovers of sports the long awaited competition is here. The Africa Cup of Nations. And The Super Eagles of Nigeria are just only one step away from qualifying for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) that has just started and will be looking to pick all three points this week Saturday when they meet with Benin republic.
For sure they are going to Benin Republic and they are going there very prepared but they shouldn’t forget that Benin players will not take it kindly with them seeing that they have been doing really well in recent time, in order words they have good records.
I could recall The 2021 AFCON qualification series had in one of the earlier fixtures between both teams, in November 2019, and I saw the Squirrels shocking super Eagles. That it took them a while to recover. The Squirrels’ as they are called, their last outing was at the 2019 AFCON edition where they were crashed out of the quarter-final after a 1-0 defeat to Senegalese side.
One thing am certain for sure that this season will be a nice one for the Super Eagles of Nigeria as their Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has also called up almost all of his foreign-based players in his squad and he made mention of the importance of bringing back our lost glory, as well as the winning mentality. Indeed the move he made now is really necessary it will enable us to go to the FIFA world cup, with the squad on ground now.
We have the likes of Samuel Chukwueze if you know him he is currently a villareal player. Also they is Henry Onyekuru from Galatasaray’s, Wilfred Ndidi is also among the man that will take charge of the midfield. And a whole lot of them. I wish them all the best of luck come Saturday.
But the funny part of it is that they will be travelling to Benin Republic in a boat not even on air, though I don’t know how true this may be but mhen its Nigeria anything is possible. I wonder what made them make such a decision, transporting those high rated players on a boat to Benin Republic, well whatever they want to do they are free but they should make sure they come back victorious. Please have you in any way heard of such news? If yes please do share with us.
