Musa Targets More Trophies With Super Eagles

Super Eagles vice captain, Ahmed Musa says he’s determined to win more trophies with the senior national team before calling it quits with football.

Musa who will be in line to face the Desert Foxes of Algeria in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Saturday, was part of the Super Eagles squad that won the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa under late manager, Stephen Keshi.

Having enjoyed strings of starting shirts in the colours of Leicester City in the Premier League recently, the former CSKA Moscow winger revealed that he’s happy with current crop of players in the team and that he’s determined to win more trophies for Nigeria.

“My dream in the Super Eagles is to win more trophies. My last trophy was at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa but then, I will be so delighted to qualify Nigeria for the 2018 World Cup. I am delighted with the calibers of players in the team and I am confident that the team will do well,” Musa said.

“I am very happy with my progress so far because at the beginning I never thought things like this would have happen. I hope to achieve more great things for my club and country because that is the most important thing as a footballer,” he said.
