Moses, Nsofor desperate for Bafana
Bafana on August 05, 2013 at 1:30 am in Sports The build up to the August 14 Mandela
Challenge prestige clash between the
Super Eagles of Nigeria and South
Africa’s Bafana Bafana has started to
reach the real actors of the game, with
Chelsea of England’s Victor Moses, declaring that he has missed his
colleagues in the national team and
cannot wait for the Mandale Challenge
to reunite with them. Super Eagles Scribe Dayo Enebi Achor,
was quoted by Media Officer, Ben
Alaiya, as saying that Moses was the
first player to put a call though to the
team to say he will be available for the
game and will be among the first player to arrive South Africa for the
game. Nigeria’s Midfielder Victor Moses vies

by the national team stars for the
game, Obinna Nsofor, has been
making desperate enquiries about his
return to the national team and has
also promised to be early for the game in South Africa’s warmest city of
Durban. Other players who have been making
concerted enquiries about the friendly
so far include power playing Lazio of
Italy midfield ace, Ogenyi Onazi, wing
wizard Ahmed Musa and slow poison
striker Brown Aide Ideye.Arrival for all the players according to the NFF
remains, Sunday, August 11 in South
Africa for the game scheduled for
Wednesday, August 14. Similarly, the NFF leadership through
the Secretary General, Barr Musa
Amadu, has reacted quickly to an
initial position of Russian side, Spartak
Moscow, that it will not release CAN
2013 goleador Emmanuel Emenike for the Mandela challenge. “The NFF will
not accept any of such claims that it’s
not a FIFA free window, because it is
and as I speak with you the NFF Scribe
has also made his position known to
Spartak”, team sources declared. Indications are that all invited players
for the prestige international friendly
in honour of Africa’s formost
nationalist, Dr Nelson Mandela will be
available for the encounter from the
Nigerian perspective, as the NFF is determined to counter any move
from foreign based clubsides to deny
Nigeria the services of the players. “Don’t forget that the game is also a
dress rehearsal for the September
World Cup qualifier against the Flames
of Malawi and we can’t afford to let
anything to chance”, the NFF Scribe
was quoted as saying. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/moses-nsofor-desperate-for-bafana-bafana/

I wish the super eagles the very best of luck.

That's good we need dedicated players.
