Super Eagles veteran Moses Simon has assured fans that the team is fully prepared, both mentally and physically, for their upcoming AFCON qualifier against Libya in Benina on Tuesday. After a hard fought 1-0 victory in Uyo last Friday, where Fisayo Dele Bashiru broke the deadlock just minutes before the final whistle, the Nigerian team is ready for a challenging rematch in North Africa.
They’ll come out aiming to win, which is fine we’re well prepared for that, said Simon, who plays for FC Nantes. He emphasized the importance of securing the three points, noting that the team was well prepared for the difficulties they faced in the first leg, with the ultimate aim of qualification. A victory in Libya would virtually assure Nigeria’s spot in the 2025 AFCON.
Editorial
The Super Eagles’ recent performances reveal a team ready to go the distance, especially when victory means inching closer to a 2025 AFCON qualification. Moses Simon’s confidence speaks volumes about the team’s mental and physical resilience, and this attitude will be essential as they face a determined Libyan side on home turf. Securing another win in North Africa could set the tone for the Super Eagles’ campaign, reinforcing their position as a top contender.
In high stakes games like these, preparation is key. The Super Eagles’ determination must be matched with strategic execution, particularly in adapting to Libya’s home advantage. With a crucial three points within reach, this is a moment for Nigeria to solidify its standing in African football. We anticipate a fiercely contested game, but if the Super Eagles play to their strengths, there’s every reason to believe they’ll bring home the win and keep the momentum rolling.
