Victor Moses to Play Pivotal Role for Super Eagles in Russia, says Amuneke
Nigeria’s national team, the Super Eagles, will heavily rely on the unpredictable skills of Victor Moses during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, according to Emmanuel Amuneke. Amuneke, who is set to take charge of his second Sudani League game on Tuesday night, believes that if Moses can maintain his impressive form for Chelsea, he will be a key player for Nigeria.
Amuneke, a former star for the Super Eagles during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, emphasized Moses’ evolution into a well-rounded winger. “He (Moses) has added defending to his game, which will make the Super Eagles team more balanced when they are not in possession and formidable,” Amuneke told Completesportsnigeria.com.
Recognizing Moses’ tremendous qualities showcased at Chelsea, Amuneke highlighted his unpredictability as a standout attribute. “He is one player in the team you can’t predict or try to stop,” Amuneke added. “With him, Nigeria can reach a new level at the World Cup in Russia.”
Moses recently scored his second league goal of the season for Chelsea, contributing to their 3-0 victory over West Brom on Monday night. This goal marked his 20th in the Premier League for Chelsea, placing him among the top Nigerian scorers in English Premier League history.
Joining the ranks of Efan Ekoku, Shola Ameobi, Nwankwo Kanu, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Victor Anichebe, Obafemi Martins, and Odion Ighalo, Moses has solidified his place as one of the most prolific Nigerian goal-scorers in the Premier League.
As the Super Eagles prepare for the World Cup, the team will undoubtedly look to Moses to provide the spark needed to propel them to new heights in the tournament. His versatility and unpredictability on the field make him a formidable force that opposing teams will struggle to contain.
With Moses in their ranks, Nigeria aims to make a lasting impression on the global stage, and their performance in Russia will undoubtedly be closely watched by football fans worldwide.
