Musa: Outshining Messi Is Easy For Me
Ahmed Musa is ready to inspire Nigeria to victory over Argentina in their final World Cup group game, having apparently been described as “Lionel Musa” in South America.
Musa’s double took him to four goals at the World Cup for his country, making him their top scorer at international football’s showpiece event, and has apparently led to Argentina fans dubbing him “Lionel Musa” in thanks for him keeping their side alive in Russia.
“Thank you very much for that!” He said when told about the comparison. “Whenever I play against Argentina, when Messi is playing, I can remember four years ago when Messi was playing in Brazil, I scored two goals. When I transferred to Leicester, I played against Barcelona, and I scored another two goals. Next game, anything can happen. Possibly, I’m going to score another two goals.”
“Scoring against Argentina is not that difficult for me,” he said. “Any game, I take it step by step. If I’m going to score against Argentina, I’m going to do that.
