Adeleye says Super Eagles is ready to defeat Rwanda in world cup qualifier
Super Eagles goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye has promised that the team will give everything on the pitch to claim all three points against Rwanda’s Amavubi.
Nigeria needs a win to keep their hopes of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup alive, with the tournament set to take place in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The crucial qualifier will be played in Uyo on Saturday.
The Eagles were previously held to a 1-1 draw at home by Zimbabwe, a result that piled pressure on them to deliver this time. Adeleye, who has returned to the squad after missing out on AFCON 2023, stressed the importance of the clash.
“We are ready for Rwanda, they must fall,” he said confidently. “Everyone is prepared, we know what’s at stake, and we can’t afford to waste this chance.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
