Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has spoken tough ahead of Nigeria’s international friendly tie with Russia in Moscow on Friday.
The former Watford defender said Eric Chelle’s side knows both the strengths and weaknesses of the Russian team.
Speaking during a press event hosted by the Russian Football Union on Thursday ahead of the Friday game, Troost-Ekong also admitted that the Russian team plays aggressively.
“We have seen that the Russian team plays aggressively, often using a 4-3-3 formation and high pressing,” Troost-Ekong said.
“This will not be an easy task for us, but I will not go into details. We know both the strengths and weaknesses of this team,” he added.
Nigeria head to the game after beating Jamaica to win the 2025 Unity Cup in London last weekend.
