The Super Eagles stand-in-captain, Vincent Enyeama, has voiced it loud and clear that there is no hiding place for the Harambee Stars of Kenya in Nairobo on Wednesday because the Eagles need victory to stay on course in the 2014 World Cup qualifier.
“We are fired up to win in Nairobi and today’s (Saturday’s) friendly match is a good preparations for us”, Enyeama disclosed shortly after his side was forced to a 2-2 draw by the El Tri of Mexico in the wee hours of Saturday.
The Super Eagles team arrived the Frankfurt international airport in Germany at exactly 8.55am local time, which is 7.55am Nigeria time, after a nine hour flight from Huston.
After airport formalities, the team checked checked into the Hilton Frankfurt Airport Hotel, where it will transit before departing to Nairobi, Kenya on Monday (tomorrow) 11am, which will be 10am Nigeria time.
The team did not rest but prefers to train on Sunday evening at 5pm.
The players said that the match against Kenya is non negotiable and that is why they are not resting and will go for training, despite the long journey.
Team Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, has vowed that observed lapses in the game against Mexico will be corrected.
Meanwhile the Nigeria Ambassador and Consular General to the USA, Ambassador Habeeb Baba Habu, at a reception he hosted for the Super Eagles charged them to once again put smiles on the faces of Nigerians by qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
Three things, Habu said, are important in the lives of Nigerians: God, kolanut and football.
He further said they were proud of the display put up by the team against Mexico and wish them the best of luck.
Enyeama thanked the Ambassador for hosting the team and promised they would not disappoint Nigerians.
