Moses confident of Nigeria success

Chelsea forward Victor Moses is confident Nigeria can lift the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa next year.

The former Wigan man, who broke into the Nigeria team this year, believes several factors will work in favour of the side when the tournament begins in January next year.

“I am confident we can get the job done in South Africa. This is because we have a good team with determined players who are ready to prove that it is a new dawn for the game in the country,” Moses told Goal.com.

“Nigeria missed the last tournament in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon and there is a hunger on the part of the players to do well and appease the fans of the team.

“We have a wonderful coaching crew who know how to bring out the best in the players. They have succeeded in making sure that every player merits being on the plane to South Africa.

“Nigerians are praying and the football authorities are also working round the clock to motivate the team.

“We have a strong team and with all the preparations that will be put in place, I don’t see anything stopping us.”

Nigeria are in Group C alongside defending champions Zambia, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia.
