“We Have a Lot of Quality Players” – Troost-Ekong Shows Confidence in Super Eagles
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has expressed confidence in the team’s strength ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe.
Nigeria will face Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday evening, following their solid 2-0 win over Rwanda in the last match.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Troost-Ekong highlighted the team’s depth and tactical awareness.
“We have a lot of smart players who play at a high level and can easily adapt to different tactics,” Troost-Ekong said. “The coaches have mentioned it too — there’s a lot of quality in this team, so it’s not about teaching players how to play football.”
The current Super Eagles squad includes top talents like African Footballer of the Year Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen, who won the award before Lookman. The match against Zimbabwe is set to kick off at 5 pm.
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!!”
