William Troost-Ekong Celebrates 10 Years of Playing for Super Eagles
William Troost-Ekong has marked a major milestone—ten years since he first wore the Super Eagles jersey. Born in the Netherlands to a Nigerian father and Dutch mother, the solid centre-back made his debut for Nigeria on June 13, 2015, in a match against Chad. Now 31, Troost-Ekong recently earned his 79th cap in a game against Russia at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.
Reflecting on his journey, he gave heartfelt credit to the late Stephen Keshi, the legendary coach who gave him his first shot. He also shared how honoured he feels to have taken over the captain’s armband from Ahmed Musa.
“10 years wearing this green and white—June 13, 2015 to June 6, 2025. I’ll always remember Stephen Keshi for trusting me to make my debut in Kaduna,” the Al-Kholood defender shared online. “79 appearances, 5 big tournaments, 3 medals. Becoming captain is one of my proudest moments. No dream is too big. This is what I was made for. Every day, I’m working to be better. Always grateful.”
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
