The midfielder said he was not expecting the invitation at this period.
“I was happy, my family was happy as well. It’s a dream come true. Since I was young, I’ve been dreaming to play for the national team,” he said. “I played in the under 20 and now I’m in the Super Eagles. I wasn’t expecting it to be too soon, but now I’m here and I’m happy,” Nnadi told the Super Eagles media.
The former Flying Eagles star also expressed his desire to win the AFCON title.
“I know being in the national team comes with a lot of pressure. I come from a country with over 200 million people. Playing for them, I know it’s heavy but I’m here to show my quality, fight for the team and I hope we win the AFCON,” Nnadi added.
