Mikel eyes World Cup ticket in Yaounde

By Daily Sports on September 4, 2017

Super Eagles captain and midfielder Mikel John Obi is confident that Nigeria will qualify for the 2018 World cup in Russia after replicating their superlative performance against Cameroon in Yaounde.

The Eagles had beaten the African champion 4-0 in their first leg encounter in Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on Friday, and will be hoping to repeat the same feat on Monday in Yaounde.

The Eagles arrived in Yaounde on Sunday afternoon for Monday’s 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier against the Central Africans at the Stade Omnisports Ahmadou Ahidjo.

Mikel said his side would love to wrap up their 2018 Fifa World Cup campaign in the backyard of the Cameroonians with two games to go in the race to the World Cup.

“We are very keen to finish what we started. We started a job in Uyo and it is time to finish it. If we can pick the World Cup ticket by Monday why wait any longer?

“We are all very confident because we know our ability and what we are ready to bring to the party,” said Mikel to thenff.com.

Nigeria achieved their biggest win ever over Cameroon with the massive thumping of the Lions on Friday and Mikel is aware the wounded Lions will want to salvage some pride.

“We are as hungry perhaps even more hungry than they are. It will be a tough affair but we will give our very best to take the three points,” said Mikel.© supersport.com
