Russia 2018: Ndidi rallies teammates on opening games’ focus

Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has declared that the Super Eagles’ key to qualifying for the second round of the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup was to win their opening two games.

Ndidi told FIFA World Cup Russia magazine the team’s final game against Argentina in Saint Petersburg on June 26 would be a very tough one.

The Super Eagles have persistently had it rough against the two-time world champions, managing just one win in all meetings between both sides.

The Nigerian team will begin their Russia 2018 campaign by taking on Croatia at the Kaliningrad Stadium on June 16.

They will then face Iceland at the Volgograd Arena on June 22 in Group D.

Argentina have won all four games against Nigeria at the FIFA World Cup since the two teams first met in 1994 when Nigeria made her debut.
