Osimhen Dreams Of A World Cup Outing With Super Eagles
“It’s a dream of every footballer to play at the World Cup and with our situation in the group I am desperate, like other players, to make it to the 2026 tournament,” Osimhen told BBC Sport Africa.
“We suffered a big disappointment in 2022 and we simply can’t let it happen again to us, the country and our generation.
“You don’t want to finish your career with the regrets of not playing at the World Cup. That is not what I want for myself.”
“People say we have a talented generation but we can only confirm this talent when we play in a World Cup like those before us,” Osimhen confided.
“I was sad, like my team-mates, to miss out on Qatar and our fans didn’t even understand how much it affected us.
“This is why we must correct the previous mistakes by giving everything to our country, our new coach and prove ourselves as being worthy.”
Osimhen is eager to start training under Chelle, who was unveiled as Super Eagles new coach few weeks ago.
Chelle led his homeland to the quarter-finals at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) and also managed a rare victory over Nigeria last year.
“I’ve spoken to him couple of times and clearly understand the objectives he has set for himself and for the players,” the Galatasary man added.
