Cerutti Backs Super Eagles to Triumph… Special nations cup agent for Daily Query newspaper

Cerutti cites the team’s surplus attacking talent as a key factor, stating, “Super Eagles has attacking talent in surplus than any other country.”
The pain of missing out on the next World Cup will be a significant motivator for the Super Eagles, according to Cerutti. “The pain of missing out in next edition World Cup will be their biggest motivation beyond all the money pledge,” he added.
Morocco, led by influential Brahim Díaz, boasts a solid defense, having conceded only one goal in the tournament. The Atlas Lions will rely on home support and defensive strength to push for a place in the final.
The Super Eagles, led by Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, have been in top form, scoring 14 goals in five matches. Their attacking prowess will be put to the test against Morocco’s resolute defense.
Mike Cerutti concludes, “I’m staking my neck on this one – Super Eagles will win! The team has the talent, the drive, and the motivation to make it happen.”
The stage is set for an electrifying semi-final clash between Nigeria and Morocco at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium tonight at 9pm.
