AFCON 2021: Eagles’ best yet to come -Ndidi

Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi believes the Super Eagles, despite their excellent performances in the ongoing 33rd Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon are not even close to the best displays the team can produce.

Nigeria followed their 1-0 win over seven-time African champions Egypt with a 3-1 triumph over Sudan on Saturday to maintain lead in group D with six points.

Both wins have been earned while playing a progressive kind of football introduced by interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, who has only spent two weeks in charge of the team.

The Leicester City star is pleased with the team’s excellent start to the tournament and he is convinced that the Super Eagles will get better as they spend more time mastering the new strategies.

“So far, it’s been good and we have six points now, which is very important and we look forward to the next game,” Ndidi told the News Agency of Nigeria, as per Premium Times.

“There’s always room for improvement and we don’t think this is our best yet but we know that we will keep improving with each game as we move to the next round.

“So, there are still more games to come and we will see what happens.”

The 2019 AFCON bronze medallist promised that the Eagles are focused on winning the last group game against the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday.

“our expectation now is to try and win our final group game as much as we know that we have qualified but we try to take every game as the finals,” Ndidi added.
