<\/p>\nMusa has played in all of Nigeria\u2019s games so far, with just one assist to his name.<\/p>\n
The Al Nassr winger came on as a substitute in the opening match against Burundi and then started the subsequent four games.<\/p>\n
However, Yobo speaking with Goal, highlighted his importance to Gernot Rohr\u2019s team.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigeria is always blessed with talent. When we talk about going forward, I see that as our strength because we always have players that can take on opponents one-on-one with individual brilliance and getting a goal out of nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat has always been our strength. Musa is the most experienced player in the team now because he\u2019s the captain when Mikel is not playing. He\u2019s got everything, his speed is terrifying as a defender if you ask who I don\u2019t like playing against, I will tell you Musa all day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want it because I tried it a few times in training and I know he\u2019s got it. He is a match-winner, we saw that at the World Cup when he scored a brace and it is not the first time it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusa has been our biggest threat, every time Musa had the ball, the defenders were on their back foot, they were under a lot of pressure. Sometimes decision making and understanding didn\u2019t really click [against South Africa], Musa was outstanding because you always need someone that will take the ball to the opponent, somebody that will make opponents defend close to their post and that\u2019s what he\u2019s got.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you defend high against Musa, he will beat you with his speed all day. He is an intelligent player, he has improved very well. He\u2019s our biggest threat because I know as a defender,\u201d Yobo said.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
