AFCON Qualifiers: Troost-Ekong talks tough after Eagles’ session in Freetown
William Troost-Ekong is optimistic Nigeria’s Super Eagles can claim all three points against Sierra Leone in Freetown today.
Ekong featured for the entire duration when the sides met in Benin City; the game ended in an 8-goal thriller.
It was a game to forget for the Super Eagles who saw their four-goal lead cancelled out following a stunning comeback from Sierra Leone.
However, Ekong has assured Nigerians, in a post-training interview on Monday evening, that the team is hungry and want to qualify for the AFCON finals.

“No surprises about the pitch, it’s just like every other pitch in Africa. The fans will see a team that is hungry and we want to qualify for the AFCON,” Ekong said.
