Ahmed Musa On Why Super Eagles Can Go All The Way, Defends Move To Al-Nassr
Published: June 07, 2019Former Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa believes that the Super Eagles can go far at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations because of the quality strikers in their ranks.
The Super Eagles players are often praised or are criticized by the fans on social media depending on their performance, and Musa says he pays little or no attention to negative comments.
''As a player if you allow that to come into your head, you will never reach your goal of what you are doing. As you can see we have a lot of strikers, it's not only Ahmed Musa that is going to score,'' said Musa.
''At the end of the season, we have a lot of strikers with 20, 17, 15 goals, I ended up with seven, so I think we have a very good opportunity to go far.''

Musa surprised everyone by agreeing a transfer to the Saudi Arabia Pro League after the 2018 World Cup and insisted that he is mentally prepared for the Africa Cup of Nations though the league is not as competitive as the leading European Leagues such as La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and English Premier League.
''Go back and check the league, you'll see a lot of good players in the teams, not only Musa. I think Saudi League is one of the best leagues that spend a lot of money to make their league better,'' added Musa.
All things being equal, Musa will play his sixth game in the Nations Cup when Nigeria take on Burundi in their opener on June 22.
