Former Green Eagles Captain Segun Odegbami has expressed his confidence in the Super Eagles ahead of their final Group game against Argentina on Tuesday Night.
In a Telephone Interview on Brila FM, Odegbami confirmed to Nigerians that the Eagles are fully ready to take on the Argentines in a do or die affair later today at Saint Petersburg.
Feeding questions from the Chairman/CEO Brila Media, the 65-year-old Football icon said he was able to meet with the players and their officials on Monday Night in a bid to further charge them and appreciate the lads for the job done so far.
I told the players that they carry a huge responsibility on their shoulders that is hardly recognized beyond the demand for them to win a match.
This responsibility could become a burden if not handled correctly and converted into positive energy, determination, patriotism, the will to win, discipline, fighting spirit, driven by the kind of spirit that has made Nigerians the most passionate football followers in the World today.
Winning today’s match is very very important for the simple reason that it will serve as a reminder that together as a people, united behind a common cause that keeps religion, tribal considerations, status and other divisions aside, Nigeria can become the greatest Black country in the world within a short time.
Odegbami also said he saw fire in the eyes of the players.
“I feel the players are fully ready”
“I couldn’t even notice any hand injury on the Skipper, Mikel”
“Their spirits were on a high,”
