Akor Adams Charges Super Eagles To Target Victory Against Russia

The absences have created an opportunity for several less-experienced players, with some members of the squad expected to make their international debuts.

Adams, one of the more experienced players in the group, welcomed the newcomers but reminded them of the responsibility attached to wearing the Nigeria shirt.

“There are a lot of new boys in camp. I’m happy for them and congratulations for those who are going to make their debut in advance, but it’s still the Super Eagles and we know what we stand for,” Adams said in an interview released by the Nigeria Football Federation.

The Venezia forward said Chelle has made the team’s objective clear despite the changes to the squad.

“The coach has made it clear that we are here to try our best to win,” Adams said.

He also expects Russia to provide a difficult test, pointing to the limited number of international fixtures available to their opponents.

“Russia is a very good team as well and I think they’re hungry to play games because of their peculiar situation.

“For us it’s to give our best. I know Nigerians are watching, they love football a lot and they love the Super Eagles a lot. We’ll try to come out with a good result and also a good performance,” he added.
