While speaking in an exclusive interview
with SCORENigeria, Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, who is making a return
to the squad, stated that victory against Cameroon in Uyo on Friday September 1, 2017, would go a
long way in the team’s qualification for next year’s World Cup in Russia.
The Godswill Akpabio International
Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital will host the football match
between the Super Eagles and the Indomitable Lions, and the Eagles will also
travel to Yaounde for the reverse fixture on Monday.
Mikel, who admitted that they had a
tough game against the African champions, expressed optimism that they would
soar above the Lions on match day. “These three points will go a long way in
our qualifying campaign. We have got a very good team. We have got a very
young team with a lot of quality.
“We are on top of the table on
six points and we want to win. Cameroon also want to win, so it’s really going
to be a do-or-die affair. We are looking forward to the game and we want to
make sure we qualify and hopefully we will do that. We need to make sure we
qualify first. There is a big task ahead of us”
