Super Eagles Future Is Bright – Balogun

Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun believes the team has what it takes to become a great team with the calibre of young and experienced players.

Having played in the three matches at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia where Nigeria crashed out in the Group stages that consist of Croatia, Argentina, and Iceland, Balogun pointed out that the future is bright for the senior National team if they maintain continuity with this team and a few added to it.

“It will be very important to keep going the way we have started,” the new Brighton and Hove Albion signing added.

“We have experienced players, young players, talented players – and there are even more players that are not in the team yet – and we have to keep developing them and investing in their football education.

“We just have to keep working and keep our focus on advancing year after year and then in the next four years, we will have a good team – maybe an even better one.”
