Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has come out to say that he is confident that Super Eagles will deliver against Ivory Coast. He recently revealed that it will also happen in the land of his childhood icon, Didier Drogba, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it has been more than a decade since Nigerian last won the competition, so a new coronation is definitely long overdue.
Osimhen added that he imitated a lot of Drogba’s gestures growing up, and he looks forward to playing against his country.
His words, “The Super Eagles have a history closely linked to the Afcon but since 2013, we have been looking for a new coronation, it’s been more than a decade, that’s a long time for a football-loving country like Nigeria.
We are the country of Jay-Jay Okocha, of Nwankwo Kanu, our illustrious elders of whom we are the heirs, we must restore this image so dear to our heart.
Life is surprising, when I was younger, I never missed a Didier Drogba match. I imitated each of his gestures, and I did his celebration when I scored against my friends.
Participating in Afcon in the native land of my idol is an honour for me. I have the impression of being reconnected in a certain way with the kid from Olusosun that I was and who had a lot of dreams, including that of one day being Africa champion.”
