Super Eagles Germany based defender, Leon
Balogun, has dismissed the as mere boasting,
warnings from the Chipolopolo of Zambia that
they will be in Uyo to pick the available three
points over the Super Eagles, and open the
Africa group B qualifying of the Russia 2018
FIFA World Cup.
Balogun, who plays for Mainz 05 in the Germany
Bundels Liga urged Nigerians to disregard the
mind games of the Chipolopolo Coach, insisting
that the Eagles are Russia bound.
The defender, who won the heart of Uyo fans as
he was arguably one of the Eagles stand-out
players in the double header against Cameroon
this month, has made eight appearances for the
Super Eagles since he made his debut in 2014.
Zambia having beaten Algeria home and away in
the last round of qualifiers have boasted that
their new youthful team will beat the Super
Eagles on October 7 in Uyo to leave the group
qualifying ticket open.
The Chipolopolo have reportedly concluded plans
to train in Ghana for the game with the FAZ
president, Andrew Kamanga, revealing that the
former African champions would also camp in
Spain.
However the Mainz 05 defender has said that
there is no cause for alarm as the Eagles are
well aware of the task ahead.
“We are unbeaten so far in the World Cup
qualifiers. The way we presented ourselves as a
team so far, I think there is no need for one not
to be confident.
“I don’t say it’s not possible that we lose, but I
want to win and I think the whole team want to
win and everybody wants to go to Russia and
what better way to qualify than to do it in front
of your fans. So let’s all just be confident.”
