He noted that Nigeria’s ability to rise to crucial occasions has always been one of the team’s strengths, and their recent display reaffirmed the spirit that defines the Super Eagles.
According to him, the result and performance showed that the players understood the magnitude of the task and the expectations of millions of fans back home.
Agu urged the team to remain focused ahead of the next phase of qualifiers, warning against complacency and distractions. He said the playoff stage will demand even more concentration, discipline, and unity — qualities that have historically carried Nigeria through difficult campaigns.
“Every match from here is like a final,” he said. “The boys must continue to play with hunger and pride because the entire country believes in them. If they keep this same energy, Nigeria will surely make it to the World Cup.”
The former national team goalkeeper added that the recent turnaround has restored confidence among supporters, and he believes that with continued technical stability and strong leadership within the squad, the Super Eagles can overcome any challenge that lies ahead.
