Gabriel Osho Believes Super Eagles Can Bounce Back and Qualify for 2026 World Cup
Super Eagles defender Gabriel Osho has expressed confidence that the team will secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Nigerian national team, known for their talent and passion, have yet to win a match in Group C after four games, leaving them in fifth place in the standings.
The Super Eagles, a team that has long been regarded as one of the powerhouses in African football, have faced criticism for their performance so far.
However, Osho remains optimistic and determined to see the team rise above their challenges.
Speaking to Flashcore, he mentioned the squad’s potential and their focus on bouncing back stronger in upcoming matches.
“We need to concentrate on both the World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations,” Osho said.
Reflecting on their recent performances, he emphasized the team’s commitment to improvement.
“After the last competition, our objective is clear; progress and ultimate victory.
I believe we have the talent to achieve that.”
“Our team’s quality is arguably the best on the continent.
Now is the time to demonstrate that on the global stage,” he added, urging his teammates to showcase their skills and determination in the matches ahead.
Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli has revealed why captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed their Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Ronaldo was sidelined due to a cold as Al-Nassr settled for a 1-1 draw at home. Otávio and R. Martínez scored to earn a point for both teams at Al-Awwal Park.
After the game, Pioli explained that Ronaldo’s absence was health-related. Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the league with 64 points from 32 matches, having already missed out on the title after Al-Ittihad were crowned champions. Their next fixture is against Al-Khaleej on Wednesday.
Atalanta’s star winger Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the Serie A Player of the Month award for May. He’s up against five other top players including Riccardo Orsoloni from Bologna, Juventus’ Khenphren Thuram, Napoli’s Scott McTominay, AS Roma’s Manu Kone, and AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez.
Lookman broke his six-game scoring drought by finding the net in Atalanta’s 2-1 victory over AS Roma on Monday. This season, the 27-year-old has made a huge impact with 15 goals and five assists in 30 league games.
Ademola Lookman has once again earned a spot in the Serie A Team of the Season, marking his second time in a row making the prestigious list. The 27-year-old was a key figure for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta side throughout the 2024/25 season, putting in several standout performances.
He racked up an impressive 20 goal contributions, netting 15 goals and providing five assists in 30 league matches. His teammate, Mateo Retegui, also made the cut. With transfer talks heating up, the exciting winger is expected to part ways with Atalanta when the season wraps up.
