Super Eagles forward Victor Moses has urged his Super Eagles\u2019 teammates to remain focused as they begin their Russia2018 World Cup campaign against Croatia on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Chelsea star apologized to fans for their poor performance in the friendly games but vowed to be in their best form against Croatia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve come here a long time here at Esentuki, but I think you can see in the training that we were doing very well. Now there is a match with Croatia, a very strong team, but we are gunning for the win,\u201d he told Croatian outlet sportske.jutarnji.hr.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet these were just friendly matches, although we were sorry we lost, especially against England. But we look good at this point; we will be good in opening game against Croatia.<\/p>\n
\u201cCroatia is a great team with many top players; they are strong individuals and team. They have a particularly strong midfield and attack, the most important thing for us is to be concentrated, then we can beat Croatia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing is not to lose this first game because they are sometimes the most important. Croatia can beat anyone, but Nigeria can beat Croatia. We\u2019ll have to do it like a team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moses chose no country as his favorite to win the World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything can happen in our group, all teams can advance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
