Sadiq Umar has charged his teammates in the Super Eagles to put behind the disappointment of not qualifying for the 2022 World Cup and bounce back with victories against Sierra Leone and Mauritius in the upcoming Africa Cup Of Nations qualifiers, reports Megasportsarena.com.
Nigeria missed out on a spot in Qatar after a 1-1 draw in Abuja to Ghana the ticket to the Middle East’s first World Cup later this year.
The Almeria forward, who will be playing in the prestigious La Amiga next season, is looking to bounce back from the disappointment when the Super Eagles kick off their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on the 9th of June against Sierra Leone at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja.
“We are all getting ready for the game”, Umar told NFF TV.
“After the World Cup qualifiers, we told ourselves that we have to be back stronger and we have to show it.”
Umar also spoke about life under new boss Jose Peseiro, stating the team’s readiness to impress under the Portuguese tactician.
“I’ve had my first training with him. We did all the training with the ball, and we’re just trying to understand what he wants, and we all hope we can give him what he wants.” Umar said.
