Ndidi declared that the focus must be on the game with Rwanda for now.
The Besiktas of Turkey midfielder stated that securing maximum points against the Amavubi is the first objective of the team.
Chance For Redemption
“We are not looking at the game against South Africa yet, because the game against Rwanda is the most important one in our hands right now, and we can’t let it slip,” Ndidi told reporters in Uyo.
“If we let it slip, it’s finished. If we let the Rwanda game slip, there’s nothing like rivalry in South Africa. We have to win the game against Rwanda first, then we focus on the game against South Africa.”

Is not not the same person that said “because we’re Nigeria doesn’t mean we should win every game” after we lost to Benin? No it’s “we can’t afford to lose”. He should just stop talking
I’m hoping it’s Frank Onyeka, Chrisantus Uche, and Iwobi/Dele-Bashiru in the middle starting the game. Ndidi can start from the bench.
Ndidi can’t score a goal to save his life.

Go and watch the Rwanda vs Nigeria away, the only match we’ve won so far, and see the magic Iwobi pulled off in the game, then come back again to yarn opata.
Ori e gbale!
You smoke bomb?
E be like say you drink petrol.
I think our coach might use Chukwueze in the no.10 position, Uche is a must. I have a feeling Onyedika has played himself into the starting 11 after his display against Russia. It’ll be interesting to see how we line up., especially with talks of 3 CBs.
Ndidi can’t score goals for SE. He is been in the squad as a midfielder for almost 10 years now without a single goal to his name, not even when he was fitter between 2018 and 2022.
He is slow and have no shot in him and even when he is in the 18 yard box he misdirects his low shots off target. I’d prefer either Dele Bashiru or Raphael Onyedika as attacking midfielders with Frank Onyeka in defensive midfield position. Ndidi should be on the bench and called in when Frank is tiring and we are winning.
