We have thick skin: Captain Troost-Ekong says Super Eagles are used to insults from 300m Nigerians
Nigerian skipper William Troost-Ekong spoke to the media ahead of the Super Eagles crunch tie against Rwanda, stating that the team is not worried about the millions of critics but still wants to make everyone proud in the WCQ.
Ekong speaks on team performance
Troost-Ekong commended the standout performances of Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman and emphasised that Nigeria's victory over the Wasps was due to the collective effort of the entire team.
"I want to congratulate the coach on his first win. I also want to start off by saying that the game against Rwanda wasn't easy. We've faced them several times now, it's a team that we respect," Troost-Ekong said as reported by Allnigeriasoccer.
"Like the coach said we tried to understand what he wanted us to do early on. We only had maybe two or three full training sessions, a lot of video sessions, but today you saw glimpses of what we should be expecting under coach Eric Chelle.

"Talking about players, Victor Osimhen is fantastic player, he's among the world's best together with Ademola Lookman, Africa's best player, but I don't want to single out anyone."
The Super Eagles will make preparations for their next game against Zimbabwe and a win will push them further to achieving their target.
