Ahmed Musa is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Russian club CSKA Moscow, on loan from English team Leicester City, and the Nigeria national team. The positions he plays are left winger and striker.
Musa's most notable resource is his natural pace. He is gifted with a winger's speed, allowing him to effectively run at defenders and take the opposition on. While it may not be evident off-the-ball, with the possession at his feet, Musa has an incredible burst of energy and pace, which sets him apart from the rest of the players. Questions have been asked often what is the most important asset for a footballer; when it comes to a winger (or any non-target man attacker), it has to be said that speed is pivotal. Even if the winger lacks certain attributes elsewhere, natural pace will always be beneficial.
Musa is the first Nigerian to score more than once in a FIFA World Cup match after scoring twice against Argentina in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. |
