Top Three Super Eagles Players With A Point To Prove Against Brazil

So here, we will look at three of these ones who would have a point to prove in Singapore,

Samuel Chukwueze: If there remains any lingering doubts as to the level of quality the Villarreal youngster possesses, it could be his ability to produce the goods against the elite of oppositions.

That question could be answered to a degree by the time he takes to the pitch on Sunday against the five-time aorld champions and while it is highly envisaged that Chukwueze have done enough both for Nigeria and at club level to become a fixture in this team, his performance against Brazil, arguably the biggest opponents he has had to face since his debut in November 2018 will come in instructive.

Semi Ajayi: Ajayi is set to see the truest of his potentials well tested when he earns his second successive appearance here, and it is hardly difficult to fathom the reason why.

The West Brom man will be tasked with keeping out the Brazilian attackers alongside William Troost-Ekong, and both are not under the illusions as to what any lapse in concentration could lead to.

Solid enough not to be particularly blamed for any of the goals let in versus Ukraine, Rohr could be forced to lose patience if his defensive pairing does not find a way of stemming the goals and should that happen, Ajayi does look the most likely casualty.

Alex Iwobi: Iwobi, all flair and twinkle-toed maverick that he is, has not always unearthed that knack of coming big in top games for the Super Eagles, say like his uncle would back in the days.

He is a bunch of talent, no doubt and the spark and creativity he brings to games for his teams cannot be overlooked.

But then, Iwobi needs the goals and assists to back up his status. Could we get to see some of this against the Sëlecao?
