AFCON qualifiers: Super Eagles’ attacks will crush any team, Troost-Ekong says after 3-0 defeat against Benin Republic
The captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, William Troost-Ekong, said the potency of the sqyad’s attacks will defeat any team.
The captain, who spoke to the media after the team’s 3-0 convincing victory over Benin Republic in the ongoing 2025 AFCON qualifiers, insisted that the array of attacking talent in the Super Eagles is potent enough to decimate any team.
According to him, everybody knows how dangerous the Super Eagles can be and during the game against Benin Republic the team tried to put up a defensive masterclass against their opponent.
The Al-Kholood player also said the team has so much faith in interim Head Coach, Augustine Eguavoen, who led them to victory against Gernot Rohr’s Benin Republic.
He saud,“We respected Benin the last time we played against them. Like I said, it was only yesterday we believed in ourselves and great belief in our coach. He’s like a family member who has come back to us now, and we knew we had to take responsibility now.
“I think with the attacking talent that we have, we don’t have to name them. I think everybody knows how dangerous we are. We try our best to shut the door at the back, and when we create chances, we tend to score. I have great belief that we gave the boys balls to score and they got them straight into the net.
“This is a good indication of the direction we are heading and the first step of many that we have to take to get to the AFCON [2025].”
