As the Super Eagles prepare to face what should be a tough AFCON qualifying test this weekend, Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze is so confident of a Nigeria win against Sierra Leone he has advised fans they can book their tickets to Ivory Coast already.
Nigeria and Chukwueze, motivated by coach Jose Peseiro’s oft-repeated ambitions of winning the Africa Cup of Nations title at his first attempt, have their sights set beyond this Sunday’s game against the Leone Stars, which will be played in Liberia.
“Nigerians should expect a win because we have to qualify for the next African Nations Cup. They should just book their tickets because we are going to win and go there [to the finals in Ivory Coast],” Chukwueze said ahead of the game.
The Winger did not stop there, saying the target was to win the whole shebang: “We want to win the AFCON for sure, because we have great young talents and we have young players who are actually ready to fight.
“For me, I need to win a trophy with the Super Eagles because I cannot play to the end of my career without winning any trophy with the Super Eagles. This is our time.”
