Captain Mikel John Obi said on Sunday that a united and focused
Super Eagles, and a supportive Nigeria Football Federation, will guarantee the
two –time African champions a place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals.
The Chelsea midfield said aboard the ARIK Air plane on the flight
back from Ndola that team solidarity and the maturity of the technical crew
have forged a new spirit in camp, and that the victory over Zambia at the Levy
Mwanawasa Stadium on Sunday that has propelled the Super Eagles to the top of
the so –called ‘Group of Death’ is the beginning of great things to come.
“I have belief that we can reach new heights with this team. The
boys are so committed that it makes you happy. The coaching crew is made up of
very matured and brilliant people who respect the players. We are onto a good
thing.”
Nigeria won a competitive away game for the first time in 23
months as Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho scored before Collins Mbesuma pulled
one back in the Zambian Copperbelt capital.
Manchester City of England prodigy Iheanacho has now scored in
each of his last four matches for Nigeria: against Mali in France; Luxembourg
in Luxembourg City; Tanzania in Uyo and; Zambia in Ndola.
