Nigeria's Garrincha: Victor Moses, Iwobi, Ndidi Will Be Too Hot For Argentina, Croatia To Handle
Published: March 18, 2018
Former Super Eagles winger Ndubuisi Okosieme has opined that Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho will be Nigeria's key men at the World Cup and the quartet will cause Argentina, Croatia and Iceland problems.
Not taking into account the forfeited match against Algeria, Nigeria scored 11 goals during the African World Cup qualifiers with the quartet contributing to seven goals.
Moses, Iwobi, Ndidi and Kelechi have been named in Nigeria's 28-man roster for the international friendlies against Poland and Serbia later this month.
''I must confess to you that Rohr is doing very well. I went through the 28-man list that he just released for the two international friendlies and I concluded that Eagles mean business,'' Okosieme said to Nigerian Telegraph.
''I’m very happy with the current form of four of our players in top clubs in England. I see Moses, Iwobi, Iheanacho and Ndidi as players that will give Argentina and Croatia trouble.
''They will be too hot for our opponents to handle. Looking at the young crops of talented players we have in that list, Eagles will do wonders in Russia.''
Ndubuisi Okosieme, who was labelled the Nigerian Garrincha during his playing days, represented the Super Eagles at the 1988 African Cup of Nations.
