AFCON2023Q: Ahmed Musa upbeat Super Eagles will thrive under Peseiro

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa thinks a lot of things will change in Nigeria's senior national team under the leadership of Jose Peseiro, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Musa while speaking with journalists during the press conference said they failed the fans and they are ready to pay for it during their game against Sierra Leone on Thursday.

“The last game we played in Abuja was very sad for everyone. For me, myself, it was a very tough moment, there was nothing we can do. It’s football and there’s nothing we can do about it.

“We will make Nigerians proud again, nowadays, nobody cares about the Super Eagles because of what happened during the World Cup (qualification), we just have to keep pushing for them to believe in us again,” he promised.

Musa played down fears about playing without fans positing that it is something Eagles players are used to.

He said:”Playing in an empty stadium we are use to that because during COVID we played almost one-and-half year without the fans.

“Even in an empty stadium we have to give our fans what they want and win their confidence back so definitely we have to do all our best to win tomorrow.”
