The brief conversation between the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Super Eagles’ winger, Ahmed Musa, before the 2-0 victory over Iceland on Friday, has been revealed.
As the team prepared to board their bus to the Volgograd Arena on Friday, Musa walked up to Pinnick and said: “President, please there is no need to look worried. We will make you proud.”
Pinnick replied: “You guys should just go out there and put smiles on the faces of Nigerians. They love their Super Eagles.”
By the end of the game, Musa had netted a superb brace, to keep Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 alive.
The Super Eagles only need to avoid defeat against Argentina on Tuesday, to progress into the next round.
