Football: John Mikel, Victor Moses still hold key to Nigeria’s future

By ADAMS IBROZANO

 

The duo’s superlative performances in the double header against the African champions, the Indomitable Lions Cameroun go to reaffirm how key they are to the Super Eagles’ success, qualification for Russia 2018 and future.

juxtapose this new found vigor with the hitherto uncommitted performances and you will like to phantom out what the secret is after all.

the evolution of a hitherto reclusive Mikel Obi actually began at the last summer olympics in Brazil where he showed his leadership quality even in the face of poor administration on the part of Nigerian football federation and a sport ministry which was then bereft f ideas and directions, despite the daunting  task, Mikel led the Olympic team to win bronze against all odds which amazingly was our only medal.
this new found quality was what he transmitted to the super eagles which now play with a new found unity of purpose and the true Nigerian spirit that we usually crave for, no wonder he was sorely missed when the super eagles lost to the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a Nations cups qualifier sometime ago.
Victor Moses club career at a pint was becoming stagnant and static, he was a victim of several loans spells in so many clubs until, Antonio Conte brought out the best in him at Chelsea where he has become in invaluable assets in the team culminating in their winning the league.
The gains of these great strides by these two players is Super eagles nay Nigeria as a group purportetly christened the group f death has now become a walk over as the super eagles are through to the world cup in Russia 2018.

kudos to these great ambassadors, kudos to Nigeria.
