The forward knows his side come up against a strong
Pharaohs in Garoua, nonetheless, claims they won't fret
over the Liverpool superstar..
Facing Mohamed Salah in the Africa Cup of Nations holds no fear for
Nigeria, according to captain Ahmed Musa.
Augustine Eguavoen’s Super Eagles meet Egypt on January 11 in their
opening match of the African football showpiece, with the Liverpool
superstar expected to lead the Pharaohs’ frontline.
The two-time African Player of the Year winner has been in rich scoring form in the 2021-22 campaign, finding the net on 16 occasions in 20 English elite division outings..
Regardless, the Turkey-based star would welcome the challenge of
taking on the former AS Roma favourite – insisting the three-time
African kings boast quality the North Africans should be worried about.
“Everyone is talking about Salah but if you look at our team, we have
lots of players they will be worried about,” he told the media before
Nigeria’s departure to Garoua on Tuesday evening.
“So, we don’t have to think about Salah, they have to think about our
own players.
“They talk about Salah but we have players like Samuel Chukwueze and others on the wings who are very dangerous - so that’s football.”
Thirteen players in Eguavoen’s squad will be playing in Afcon for the
first time ever.
Even at this, the former CSKA Moscow and Leicester City star does not
see that as an impediment to Nigeria’s ambition of a fourth African
diadem which is the ultimate ambition in Cameroon.
“In each tournament, you will always see new players. I don’t think
there is any new player going to Afcon that has not been with us since day one,” he added.
“So, we are together, and we know each other but it’s just something
little the coach just needs to add into the team.
