Nigerian star, Victor Osimhen despite the Eagles’ unacceptable outing at the last edition is confident that the Super Eagles possess the capabilities to secure victory at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Nigerian team, seeking their first continental triumph in a decade, crashed out in the Round of 16 in Morocco last year.
Encouraging his teammates, Osimhen urges them to exert maximum effort in the upcoming tournament.
“The most important thing for us now is to go to Ivory Coast and win the tournament,” the 25-year-old said at a dinner put together to celebrate his coronation as Africa’s best player at the team’s training base in Abu Dhabi on Friday night.
“I believe in this group, we have a bunch of talented players to execute the job, fingers crossed and we are going to do so well.”
Meanwhile, Nigeria has featured twenty times at the biennial competition, winning thrice.
