Super Eagles
players who are aiming to beat Argentina tomorrow to top the Group F of the
ongoing World Cup here in Porto Alegre are
to get motivational messages from President
Goodluck Jonathan today. Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) board member,
Emeka Inyama confirmed on monday that Jonathan was going to personally
speak with the players as a way to motivate them against Argentina who
struggled to
gain maximum points from Iran last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a businessman who prefers to remain anonymous has
promised to pay N10million for every goal Eagles score against Argentina
tomorrow. Enyeama further revealed that
the businessman has even promised to provide the cash here in Brazil
before Eagles move to the next stage of
the tournament.
The team is quartered at the Holiday Inn Hotel, about
10minutes drive from the airport and the good news for the team is that defence
trojan, Godfrey Itama Oboabona, was
back in training yesterday afternoon. “I
am ready to resume training today and the medics have given me a clean bill,”
Oboabona said smiling as the team alighted from the TAM flight that brought
them from Campinas.
Meanwhile Joseph Yobo,
saying he prefers a win tomorrow to his much advertised attainment of a 100
caps if featured in the match against Argentina.
“It’s good news that I
will reach that milestone but what is uppermost in my mind is for the team to
win and for us to advance to the next stage. The rest will be a bonus”, he
said late yesterday.
