Chelsea star John Mikel Obi and newly acquired Saunders of America
striker in the MLS have been businesslike since they joined the Super
Eagles camp Tuesday evening.
While Mikel trained with the rest of the squad and expressed readiness
to give his all in the game against Harambee Stars of Kenya, Martins
started training with the rest of the squad on Wednesday and his impact
was immediate, going by his quickness on the ball and general
concentration throughout.
“There is no small team anywhere in the world, but we will give our
best against Kenya and hopefully we can win,” Martins said. The team had
to shift its training schedule to 4:15pm following the hosting of the
team by Governor Liyel Imoke on Wednesday afternoon.
“We have decided not to do too much talking but we have the capacity to
beat any team in the world and we heard what our opponents have been
saying, by Saturday we shall know which is the better side,” Mikel
declared on Wednesday.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Super Eagles players and officials also held a
special Thanksgiving session at the Transcorp Metropolitan Hotel in the
Canaan City.
Supervised by Pastor Divine, the session was specially organised to
thank God for the team’s victory at South Africa 2013 and to also pray
to God for more victories in the years to come.
All 23 players, officials led by Head Coach Stephen Keshi were at the
session that lasted between 10am and 10:30am on Wednesday morning.
