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.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
