CSKA
Moscow forward Ahmed Musa, who is in blistering form, has told Russian
media the reasons behind the wild jubilation in the country following the Super
Eagles’ triumph at the African Cup of Nations.
Speaking
to Sport Express, Russia, the 20-year-old disclosed: “It was great happiness.
And not only for players, but for the entire nation. The country was waiting
for this for twenty years; the victory was the reason for a big celebration.”
Musa
and fellow compatriot, Emmanuel Emenike of Spartak Moscow were in the
victorious Super Eagles squad at the tourney in South Africa as team mates
but right now, both players have gone back to being ‘rivals’; at least, in the
words of Musa.
“During
the tournament, we spent much time together, talking. But now we are back in
Russia, again, we are rivals,” Musa said.
Musa,
who has scored nine goals in 29 appearances for CSKA since completing a
€10 million move from Dutch club side, VVV-Venlo in September 2012 is the third
best forward in Russia.
