Russian defender Danil Krugovoy told the Naijatrial that his team is unfazed by the prospect of playing Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
Friday at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium will see Valery Karpin’s squad play host to the three-time African champions in a friendly match. The Super Eagles have won three of their previous four games and drawn one.
Following last weekend’s victory in the Unity Cup invitational event in London, Eric Chelle’s squad is likewise feeling optimistic. Nevertheless, Krugovoy is confident that they will defeat the guests. We are playing at home, so there are no jitters,” Krugovoy told Match TV.
If all of my fans show up, the Luzhniki will be rocking. We have a responsibility to defeat Nigeria at home since they are a strong team.
