Nigeria vs Brazil: What Super Eagles Defender Tells Teammates
Super Eagles’ defender William Troost-Ekong says while they respect five-times world champions Brazil they, however, have no fear as both teams step out in an international friendly match in Singapore on the 13th October 2019.
Ekong made the remarks on Saturday at a pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s clash with Brazil at the Singapore National Stadium in Kallang.
He said his team was inspired by the 1-1 draw fellow West African neighbours Senegal played with the South Americans.
Ekohotblog reported Brazil were held to a 1-1 draw by Senegal on Thursday in Singapore.

“Brazil are a top team, probably the best team in the world, but Senegal gave them a good fight on Thursday.
“We can pick some inspiration from that performance when we play the Brazilians on Sunday.
“It will be tough because they will want to win at least one game against an African team on this tour, but we will also want to take something off them,” he said.
NAN also reports that Sunday’s encounter starts at 8 p.m. Singapore time (1p.m. Nigeria time).
