Nigeria/Ethiopia: Moses Dreams Victory in Addis Ababa
Super Eagles forward and the newest Glo
ambassador, Victor Moses has expressed optimism that the super Eagles of
Nigeria will come out victorious in Addis Ababa on Sunday.
The Chelsea forward, who is on loan to Liverpool acknowledged that the Ethiopians are good players, and expresses optimism that the Nigeria national team and African champions will come out victorious at the end of the all-important first leg match for qualification for the 2014 world cup.
On the the issue of wheather and the condition of the pitches in Ethiopia, Moses insisted that he does not expect the local conditions in Ethiopia, which rangers from a bumpy pitch to the high altitude, to work against the star-studded Eagles.
"Ethiopia are a very good side. They play good football at the last AFCON in South Africa but our aim as professional football players is to go get a result from Addis Ababa. We will be going for a victory but in worse case a draw and hopefully finish the job in Nigeria. We are Africa players and we understand the terrain, so I don't think their bumpy pitch would be a problem for our team," he said.
