Musa reveals: Cold weather nearly ended my career in Holland

Super Eagles’ captain, Ahmed Musa would probably not have attained the lofty height he reached in his career if he had fled Holland in 2010 shortly after arriving in the European nation to join VVV Venlo.

Musa revealed on Instagram Live how the freezing cold made life miserable for him when he was playing matches for his club to the extent that he had to shed tears and considered returning to Nigeria when the situation became unbearable.
The ex-Leicester City star who has gone ahead to become the first Nigerian to score at two different World Cup tournaments had to dig deep to muster enough mental strength to survive the cold and make huge progress in a career that has seen him play in Russia, England, and Saudi Arabia
“When I was 18, I flew to Holland, only had two training sessions before I played my first game, it was not that easy and the weather was crazy.

“I was crying when I was playing because of the cold. One day I said to myself I can’t make it and need to go back to Nigeria but we Africans have one mentality that whatever you want to do you can achieve it.
“I was saying I’m going to deal with it and my agent told me with time I’ll get used to the weather,” Musa added.
