Super Eagles fringe player, Victor Obinna
Nsofor has stated that that the team will
not be under any pressure to beat Ethiopia
when they meet in the second leg of the
World Cup qualifier in Calabar on November
16.
The Eagles confirmed their class over
Ethiopia with a 2-1 win in Addis Ababa last
Sunday to put one leg in the 2014 World
Cup.
Couple with the fact that the Eagles have
not lost any match in their qualification
campaign home and away and also that
Calabar has become like a fortress, it will be
a difficult task for the Ethiopians.
“We are not under any pressure after our
win in Ethiopia. They will be the ones
under pressure. We will play good football
and score loads of goals to qualify for the
World Cup,” the Lokomotiv Moscow
forward said.
Obinna said he was happy with his
performance after coming off the
substitutes’ bench in the first leg, although
he admits there is always room for
improvement.
He added: “The altitude (in Ethiopia)
affected most of us and we waited for
them in the first half to give us what they
have.
“I was introduced to stabilise the midfield
and I did it to the best of my ability but
sincerely my best is yet to come for the
Super Eagles.
“One thing I can say for now is that I will
continue to give my all for this team to
ensure that we make our country proud,
for sure.”
