Moses Simon, the Nigerian forward, has issued a cautionary message to his fellow Super Eagles teammates, urging them to maintain humility and focus as they prepare to face Angola in a crucial quarter-final showdown.
The Super Eagles, boasting a rich history with three Africa Cup of Nations titles to their name, are set to square off against Angola's Palancas Negras in the ongoing 2023 AFCON on Friday.
Nigeria has garnered attention for their tenacious performances throughout the tournament, securing two victories and a draw in the group stage. Notably, they showcased their prowess by overcoming the formidable Indomitable Lions of Cameroon with a resounding 2-0 victory in the round of 16.
Speaking ahead of the impending clash, Moses Simon emphasized the need for unwavering focus and determination, drawing parallels to the team's previous encounters against powerhouse teams like Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon. He emphasized the necessity for the team to maintain their peak performance levels and remain steadfast in their pursuit of success.
"Facing Angola will be no easy task. We've seen the challenges posed by teams like Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon, not to mention Equatorial Guinea. To emerge victorious, we must elevate our game and keep our eyes firmly fixed on the ultimate prize," Simon remarked, as quoted by thenff.com.
As the Super Eagles gear up for another pivotal match, Simon's words serve as a timely reminder of the importance of humility and diligence in the face of formidable opposition.
