Ahmed Musa On World Cup: I Hope I Get Selected, We'll Try Our Hardest Vs Argentina
Published: January 26, 2018
Leicester City frontman Ahmed Musa entered the Nigeria history books when he became the first player to score two goals in a single match at the World Cup against Argentina on June 25, 2014.
The former Kano Pillars star is not bothered that the Super Eagles have been paired again with Argentina at the 2018 World Cup, saying they will do everything possible to win no matter the opposition.
''It doesn’t matter who we come up against; we’ll be giving it our best shot at the World Cup. We’ll be trying our hardest in every match, no matter the opposition,'' Musa told fifa.com.
''We need to set our sights high. Nigeria want to do more than just get past the group phase. We want to make the quarter-finals and even the semis. Why not?''
Musa was on the books of CSKA Moscow for four years and hopes to return to Russia with the Nigerian national team this summer.
''I hope I get selected. The World Cup is a very important event for any player,'' added Musa.
Ahmed Musa played the last twenty minutes of Nigeria's 4-2 win against Argentina in a pre-World Cup friendly staged in Krasnodar November 2017.
