 Troost-Ekong: “We’re Not Tourists, We’re Here to Beat Russia”

Troost-Ekong: “We’re Not Tourists, We’re Here to Beat Russia”

Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has boldly declared that Nigeria is in Russia for one reason — to win, ahead of their much-anticipated friendly clash with the hosts on Friday at Moscow’s iconic Luzhniki Stadium.

In a press conference reported by TalkTalk Nigeria, Troost-Ekong left no room for doubt about Nigeria’s intentions:

“This is not my first time in Moscow and Russia; I have already played in Krasnodar and Volgograd and other cities in 2018.
Yesterday, we walked around the city a little, visited Red Square.
But we are here on business; this is not a tourist trip. Together with the coach, we have already discussed how we will act in the match.”

🧠 Why This Friendly Matters

Though it's “just” a friendly, this match is anything but casual. It's the first-ever senior meeting between Nigeria and Russia — two sides with rich football histories and strong international reputations.

Nigeria, unbeaten in their last four matches, will be keen to stretch that form under the new watch of coach Finidi George, using this clash as a litmus test for upcoming competitive fixtures.

Russia, managed by Valery Karpin, will want to assert dominance on home soil, but they’ll be facing a Nigerian squad that is mentally sharp and physically prepared.

💭 Our Take: Business, Not Pleasure

Troost-Ekong’s words set the tone. This isn’t a sightseeing tour — it’s a statement of intent. With Eric Chelle’s tactical evolution taking shape and players in form, the Super Eagles are not in Moscow to admire architecture; they’re there to show African strength on European soil.

🗣️ Fans Buzzing:

“That’s the kind of mindset we love to see from our captain!”
“Russia won’t know what hit them. Super Eagles are flying high.”
“No tourists here. It’s game time!”
