Nigeria\u2019s Vice-Captain, Victor Osimhen, has dismissed any notion of pressure ahead of the Super Eagles\u2019 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash in Morocco, insisting the squad remains fully focused and united.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of the encounter, Osimhen said \u201cThe Super Eagles are approaching this game with confidence rather than fear. For us, this is an opportunity, not a burden.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Galatasaray forward acknowledged the weight of expectations from Nigerian fans but emphasised the team is drawing strength from within. \u201cWe understand what our people expect from us, but we also believe in each other. That collective belief drives us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Osimhen highlighted the squad\u2019s journey to the semi-finals as a product of hard work and cohesion. \u201cOur journey so far has been built on resilience, discipline, and togetherness. Now, our focus is on executing the game plan on the pitch,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
