Omeruo and Ajayi unveil the Super Eagles' objective against Sierra Leone

Posted : 17 June 2023

Kenneth Omeruo and Semi Ajayi, two talented central defenders, are currently vying for a place in the Super Eagles' starting lineup as they prepare to face Sierra Leone in a crucial 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The highly anticipated match will take place in Monrovia this coming Sunday, and both players have shared insights into the team's mission for this important encounter.

With their sights set on securing qualification for the upcoming tournament in Ivory Coast, Omeruo and Ajayi expressed their determination to deliver a solid performance against Sierra Leone.

Group A consists of several teams, all vying for a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations, with the exception of the underperforming São Tomé and Príncipe.

However, the Super Eagles are currently in the most favorable position, as they only require one point from their remaining two matches to guarantee their qualification.

This means that even a loss in the upcoming game will not extinguish their hopes entirely.

For coach Jose Peseiro and his team, the task in Monrovia is clear-cut: the Super Eagles will secure their spot in the AFCON if they manage to avoid defeat.

Furthermore, their impressive goal difference of +11 provides them with a significant advantage, making it highly unlikely for any rival teams to surpass them in the standings, should they end up level on points come September.

Anticipating a challenging match against Sierra Leone, Omeruo acknowledged the opposition's determination to secure a victory and keep their qualification hopes alive.

However, the Super Eagles approach the game with a resolute ambition to emerge victorious and solidify their qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Adding to Omeruo's sentiments, Ajayi emphasized the team's collective goal of qualifying the nation for the prestigious tournament.

He highlighted that a positive result in this crucial match would propel them toward achieving this objective, and thus, the entire team is channeling their efforts and energy towards this common goal.

It is worth noting that Omeruo and Semi Ajayi have already demonstrated their defensive prowess in previous matches, having formed a reliable central defensive partnership during the Super Eagles' victorious away fixture against Guinea-Bissau back in March 2023.

With their eyes firmly fixed on securing qualification, Omeruo, Ajayi, and the entire Super Eagles squad are prepared to leave no stone unturned in their quest to triumph over Sierra Leone and cement their place in the highly anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
