My people, no be small matter we get for Super Eagles corner as dem go face Algeria for AFCON quarter-finals this Saturday. E go sweet like sugarcane! After dem jam Mozambique waka dey carry dem leg, 4-0 naim dem chop, we don table say we dey ready for any gbas-gbos for field.
Former Nigeria star, Segun Odegbami don talk say dis victory na clear sign say Nigerian football dey bounce back, like monkey wey don find him way back to tree. E talk say the way the team play for Morocco na wetin we suppose dey see all the time, and dem grass for the pitch no be joke, e fine well well as e dey soft.
Odegbami sef dey vex say our own pitches no dey meet international standards, even Uyo Township Stadium dey waka limping as e no fit compare with Morocco’s fresh grass. E don urge government make dem put hand for ground to fix our pitch matter, because like wetin dem talk, good football dey start from solid ground.
As we dey prepare for Algeria, we no fit forget the last time we face DR Congo for World Cup qualifier. Dem send us home via penalty, abeg, e no go happen again. Super Eagles dey hot, and dem know say once dem win dis match, dem dey eye semi-finals wey go take dem closer to the AFCON title wey dem don dey chase since 2013.
Coach Eric Chelle don dey ginger players, tell dem say make dem focus well, say skill and mental strength go carry dem far. E talk say dem don prepare well, and dem sabi wetin Nigeria dey about: scoring goals, no wahala! Everybody dey ginger dem, because Nigeria for AFCON na another level!
No be only football matter dey shine; our sponsors, Goldberg Lager, don dey rally behind the team with their “Our Beat, Our Gold” campaign. E dey make people gather, drink beer, watch match together, and enjoy the vibes. Naijaloaded, my people, like as Oga Kunle Aroyehun dey talk say, every cheer count, and all dis moment dey bring us closer as one family.
As we prepare to take on the Desert Warriors, make we remember say we dey play for pride, for joy, and for that sweet fourth AFCON title. Na wah! Let dem hear our song this Saturday! Go Super Eagles!
