Akor Adams urges Super Eagles to rebound against Russia

Akor Adams, a striker for the Super Eagles, has called on the Nigerian national team to quickly recover from their disappointing 3-0 loss to Guinea-Bissau, which occurred on September 29 during their second 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match. In that match, Franculino Djú, Mama Baldé, and Álvaro Djaló scored for Guinea-Bissau.

This defeat followed Nigeria's earlier 2-1 victory over Madagascar, leaving the team with significant issues to address before their upcoming friendly against Russia. Adams acknowledged that the Eagles did not perform at their best and accepted responsibility for the loss.

He noted that the squad is already working on correcting their mistakes and emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards in international football. While he raised concerns about the pitch conditions in Bissau, he refrained from using it as an excuse.

Adams stressed that the team must focus on their performance against Russia and uphold the standards expected of them as representatives of Nigeria.
