BAYERN STAR ALABA VISITS NIGERIA CAMP TO WISH SUPER EAGLES WELL
#MTNShortz3sixtyworld
Austria stars David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic have wished Nigeria
‘the best’ at the Russia 2018 World Cup.
The Super Eagles’ last stop before Russia is Austria, where they, on
Wednesday, played Czech Republic for their last pre-tournament
friendly.
And the versatile left-back, with other members of Das Team paid a
visit to one of the Super Eagles’ training sessions at their Aviva
Resort base.
In a video made available by the NFF on Twitter, asked his wish for
the Super Eagles, Alaba said: “Only the best!”
However, striker Arnautovic’s positive thoughts towards the three-time
African champions would not come at the expense of his Serbian
heritage.
“I wish you the best…but I’m Serbian myself,” said the West Ham
United forward, born to a Serbian father.
.@NGSuperEagles had guests who came to see them train on Friday. It
was the Austrian National team led by David Alaba, a Nigerian by
blood. #SoarSuperEagles #Team9jaStrong pic.twitter.com/vcOh1tBm0W —

The versatile wing-back was born in the Austrian capital, Vienna,
twenty five years ago to a Nigerian father and Filipino mother.
Prior to his competitive debut for Austria against France in a World
Cup qualifier in 2009, former Nigeria international Benedict Akwuegbu
had approached the leadership of the Nigerian Federation regarding the
possibility of capping Alaba but he didn’t receive a positive response
from the Federation.
The Austria national team are holding a training camp very close to
the Super Eagles Avita Resort camp ahead of Sunday’s friendly against
Brazil.
