Nigeria\u2019s greatest image-makers and international brand ambassadors are back again.This weekend the\u00a0Super Eagles\u00a0resume their African Cup of Nations 2019 qualifier campaign in the city of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.A new look national team led by Ahmed Musa, Nigeria\u2019s 2018 World Cup hero, will take on the\u00a0Mediterranean Knights\u00a0of Libya twice within a space of 5 days (the second leg match comes up the following Thursday in Tunisia, where the Libyans now play their international matches as a result of the insecurity in their own country) to determine who, between the two teams leading in their group, would be at AFCON next year.The match gives Nigerians the first real opportunity to see and to determine how good their new national team is in the absence of the two players that defined the team\u2019s strength in the past decade - Mikel Obi and Victor Moses that have both voluntarily retired from international football for their country.So far, no one seems to be missing them in action.The new team, although only just being assembled and have played only a few matches (outside the country) since the end of the World Cup, looks very promising especially in the team\u2019s attacking options, a huge deficit at\u00a0Russia 2018.Gernot Rohr appears to have learnt useful lessons from that painful World Cup experience when, with a little bit of quality from the midfield and upfront, Nigeria could have gone farther than the country did in a championship that was so open that anyone of several national teams outside the \u2018regulars\u2019 that have dominated winning the World Cup through past decades, could have won it. Had Nigeria survived the match against Argentina, one that they had wrapped in their pocket up till close to the end of the encounter, the\u00a0Super Eagles, weak as they were, could still have progressed to the quarter finals at least. That is the exaggerated opinion of some of us that are both pundits and patriots.This Saturday, a new team will be birthed in Uyo in a match that is a litmus test for the German coach of the Nigerian team.Nigerians are waiting on the other side of the match to gauge just how strong their new generation of\u00a0Super Eagles\u00a0is.Ahmed Musa \u2013 a captainship burden."}
