Amid the call for investigation by the NFF, DR Congo has reacted, accusing Nigeria of attempting to enter the FIFA World Cup through the “back door”.

It can be recalled that the match ended in a 4–3 penalty shootout, and it was a defeat for Nigeria. However, recently, the NFF has called for an investigation into the DR Congo players over an alleged breach of rules.

“If you can’t win on the pitch, don’t try to win from the back door,” they wrote on their official X handle.

“The World Cup has to be played with dignity and confidence. Not with lawyers’ tricks. Bring it on!”

Manchester United captain, Bruno Fernandes, stated that his club wanted him to leave in the summer.

It can be recalled that there were strong transfer links between the player and Saudi Arabia during the recent transfer window, with many expecting him to move there.

The player later said “The club wanted me to go [in the summer], I have that in my head, I told the directors this, but I think they didn’t have the courage to make that decision.”

“I decided to stay, also because of family reasons, but because I genuinely like the club. The conversation with the manager also made me stay.”

A new Super Eagles player, Tochukwu Nnadi, shares his top four players he looked up to as he began his football career.

During a recent interview, the player was asked about the players he looked up to.

He said,“I was always dreaming of being in the national team one day. I played in the Under 20. Now I’m in the Super Eagles, and I was not expecting it to be too soon. I was looking up to Nwankwo Kanu.”

“I was also looking up to Wilfred Ndidi, Onyeka and also Raphael Onyedika. Those are the players I look up to.”
