Ahmed Musa Reveals What Is Motivating Super Eagles To Beat Argentina
Published: June 26, 2018Two-goal hero against Iceland, Ahmed Musa, says the Super Eagles are motivated to beat Argentina for the first time in a competitive match when they face off at the Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg on Tuesday evening.
The proof of Argentina dominating the Super Eagles in the World Cup can be seen by the cumulative scoreline of 7-3 and four victories in their last four games against the three-time African champions, but Musa is optimistic that the South Americans winning streak will come to an end today.
''I feel very excited and thanks to my teammates because they encouraged me that I can do it, the next game is a very big one, if we win we qualify to the next stage,'' Musa told fifa.com.
''Beating Argentina will be another history for the whole team not only me, I think it is a very good opportunity for us to win.
''We have never beaten Argentina in a competitive tournament. For me, beating them is a good motivation for the team.''
The Super Eagles have beaten Argentina twice in non-competitive matches, most recently a 4-2 victory in a pre-World Cup friendly in Krasnodar.
