The former Arsenal and Everton of England dazzler pointed out, “My message is that Nigerians should continue supporting us. As players, we believe we can win. So, you guys should believe in us as well.”
He reckoned further that goodwill messages and words of encouragement would go a very long way towards motivating the players to give their very best efforts at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo and Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
“(They should) give us the energy we need to go and get the results that we need to achieve in order to get to the World Cup. The lads are feeling good and everyone is optimistic, as we get set to play our first game with Rwanda. Hopefully, we can play well and get the result we need,” Iwobi enthused.
