VICTOR MOSES: WE MUST NOT LOSE AGAINST CROATIA
Trending now: #mtnshortz3sixtyworld
Chelsea star Victor Moses has warned his Super Eagles teammates that
they cannot afford to lose their World Cup opener against Croatia on
Saturday, as the game might be their most defining one in the
tournament.
Moses started the Super Eagles friendlies to Serbia, England and Czech
Republic which they lost, and the winger is determined not to let that
happen again when they face the Balkans.
”This game is very important to us because it is very important to
start winning, good result,” Moses told Croatian media Sportske
Novosti.
”You have a particularly strong line and attack, the most important
for us to be concentrated, then we can beat Croatia.
”The most important thing is to not lose this first game because they
are sometimes the most important to qualify from the group. Croatia
can beat anyone, but Nigeria can beat Croatia. We’ll have to make it
as a team.”
Nigeria have not won their last three opening games at the World Cup,
losing 1-0 to Argentina in 2002 and 2010, and playing out a goalless
draw with Iran four years ago.
