Troost-Ekong Confident Super Eagles Will Beat Zimbabwe in World Cup Qualifier
William Troost-Ekong has assured that the Super Eagles will give their all to secure a win against Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Eric Chelle’s team will face Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo next Tuesday.
“We heard that Zimbabwe is feeling confident about getting a result in Uyo, but they should forget about it,” Troost-Ekong said to thenff.com.
He emphasized the team’s strong desire to qualify for the World Cup, saying, “Aside from me, Alex Iwobi, and maybe a couple of others who played at the 2018 World Cup, this generation is hungry to compete at the highest level. We want to make Nigeria proud and prove ourselves.”
The Super Eagles boosted their qualification hopes with a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali last Friday. Nigeria currently sits in fourth place in Group C with six points from five matches.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
