Chukwueze Issues Battle Cry Ahead Of Tricky Quarterfinal Clash Vs South Africa

Published: July 10, 2019

The Super Eagles are going in search of their fourth victory at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Wednesday evening's cracker against South Africa in Cairo.

Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze is fighting for a starting shirt with Moses Simon but he doesn't mind being named on the bench so long as the Super Eagles emerge victorious against the tricky opponents.

''It is a battle which we know we are up to the task to,” Chukwueze stated.

''We might have lost to Madagascar but it was a wake-up call for us. We tried our best against Cameroon and it is our resolve to even try harder against South Africa.

''It doesn’t really matter if I start or coming on from the bench. The objective is to ensure that we beat South Africa.''

The Nigeria vs South Africa quarterfinal clash begins at 2000 hours Nigerian time.
