Super Eaglesdefender William Troost Ekong has shared in a recent interview how playing for the Nigeria national team changed his life for good.
The defence maestro who plays as a centre back for Bursaspor revealed to NFF that the Super Eagles experience is a life-changing one and playing alongside a quality footballer like Leon Balogun was quite beneficial.
“The experience garnered playing for the Super Eagles has been life-changing for me. Facing some of the best forwards in Africa, whilst having to perform and deliver for such a football-loving nation like Nigeria is a pressure that improves you as a player,” Ekong told NFF.
“I enjoy being with the team, and working with quality players. Playing alongside someone like Leon Balogun with his quality has definitely helped, but I would feel just as comfortable playing next to anyone now.”
