Why Super Eagles need Victor Moses ahead of the 2021 AFCON
pulse.ng
Victor Moses played an influential role when Nigeria won the 2013 African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa and was one of the best players during the 2018 World cup qualifier, his experience may just be needed for the team to excel at the 2021 AFCON and the 2022 World Cup in Cameroon and Qatar respectively come next year.

The president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has added is a voice to the suggestion from some quarters that the Super Eagles attack needs some experience to complement the energy and power of the young and hungry players in the attack of the Super Eagles.

The Nigerian football supremo confirmed that he is talking to Odion Ighalo and see if he could make a return, but the presence of the likes of Victor Osimhen, Paul Onuachu, Taiwo Awoniyi is in fine form and are capable of delivering the goals if they have a good supply from the midfield, thus making the addition of Ighalo a luxury.

In truth, the team needs an experienced player and the creativity puzzle in the team is yet to be solved, the current form of Victor Moses with Spartak Moscow where he Is has been providing assists and making an impact week in week out make him more desirable in the Super Eagles than a central striker.

Moses will be a perfect fit by creating a creative option for the Super Eagles as he can play through the middle of the wings creating chances for the strikers to score with ease.

The likes of Samuel Kalu, Chidera Ejuke, Moses Simon will still have a lot to learn from Victor's wealth of experience in the game.

The will also help them to grow their game to maturity while they confront Africa and the World in 2022.

Victor Moses announced his retirement from international games in August 2018 having played a total of 37 games and scored 16 times for the Super Eagles, helping the team to win the 2013 AFCON and play In the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Super Eagles can benefit from these experiences especially at the 2021 AFCON in Cameron as well as in the final round of the 2022 World Cup qualifier next year where the presence of experienced players will be more useful.

Based on these Victor Moses can be considered and lured out of retirement as his presence will improve the team if the Nigeria Football Federation are willing to lure any of the retired players of the Super Eagles back to the team.

It's really gonna be organic having a strike force of Osimhen, Success and Awoniyi, not starting at once though.
With Chukwueze and Ejuke on the wings and Ndidi and Onyeka shielding our DM when playing against superior countries. I reiterate that we really need Eze and if Eze changes his mind and becomes available, he would be playing infront of Ndidi and Onyeka. Then we are good to go from midfield to attack

maidaboi:
Success still has a long way to go sha there are many strikers ahead of him for now

zuchyblink:
Na me write this one?

zuchyblink:
They have started clamouring for just because he scored one goal

Mujtahida:

Penalty is luck. Baggio carried Italy on his shoulders with his sublime skills and rich experience to the finals of USA 94, yet he missed a penalty in such an outrageous manner that was difficult for many to believe.

GoodJoe are you thinking what I am thinking!!!!!!!

Interesting fact:

In 16 games played this season in all competitions, Awoniyi has remained on the pitch for more than 80mins on 3 occasions only.

He has still somehow contributed 12 goals and 2 assists in that time. Proper clutch player for Union Berlin.

I never rated this guy. Hope his form continues.

If you are good with comprehension, you will know that what I wrote was just "a wishful thinking" and I mentioned Success because of his past and where he is coming from as one of Nigerian best u17 players before he lost form. This same reason is why you would see people on here love and want the best for Iheanacho, Osimhen, Awoniyi, Nwakali and now success. Not that Success is the only Nigerian that deserve been mentioned but simply because of his youth exploits and what majority of Nigerians expected of him in senior level.
I have to lecture you on this before you start littering this thread with your gibberish, same way you were shamelessly mentioning and glamouring for Ighalo to return to the SE. And before you start thinking I hate Ighalo, no, I don't hate him, I have no reason to hate him, Ighalo is Esan, I am Esan, so he is even my brother but you see on the field of play? Ighalo on their good days isn't better than any of Osimhen, Success, Awoniyi, Sadiq, Moffi or even Stephen Odeh

You mean Xavi? Or Amunike.

It is likely Xavi that will take over but the problem is the squad is week to some extent. Their biggest mistake was not landing Laporte from Manchester City.

Either way, the likely candidates are,

1. Xavi - has the Barcelona blueprints in his hand but Guardiola showed us that no matter how good the team is, you need exceptional keepers and defenders to pull it off.

2. Jordi Cruyff - son of the Barcelona legend and great tactician, Johann Cruyff. He was among the Catalunya players that thrashed the Super Eagles way back in 98. He is also a sound tactician.

3. Sergi - the guy who played right back in the Nigeria Spain match in France 98. He is coaching Barca B now.

These are my top 3 likely picks to take over Barca but they need to spend on the defence to find a ball playing defender.

interesting only 2goal separate all the top 5, imagine Awo went and score a brace, or Garrick, that will shot him top,


what about that of Italy, where does Osigoal sit on the score log
