Speaking to Pulse, the 28-year-old disclosed that Nigeria can also attain Morocco's height at the World Cup.

It will be recalled that Morocco became the first African side to reach the semi-final of the World Cup.

Statement made by Esiti

''I insist that there is enough quality in the Nigerian squad, but after the lost World Cup qualification match against Ghana, the whole country was in shock.

''Everyone in Nigeria loves football, playing in the World Cup means a lot for the whole nation, so it was so difficult to digest that the World Cup was held without us.

''Morocco's performance proves that football is developing at an amazing speed and if you don't train as hard as your opponent, you will find yourself on the losing side. Being in the semi-finals shows that football is getting better in Africa as well. I am sure that the continent's teams will play better and better in the next tournaments.''

Surgeon speaks on Osimhen

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Gianpaolo Tartaro, the surgeon who operated on Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen, revealed the footballer almost lost his eyes after suffering a horrific facial injury.

In November 2021, the football world learned that the formidable Napoli striker was hurt in a clashing of heads against Inter Milan.

Inter's Milan Škriniar tried to gain the ball from Osimhen in the air but in the process, the Slovakian ended up injuring the Super Eagles player.
