As Super Eagles fly into Russia today from the team’s
training base in Avita Resort in Bad Tatzmannsdorf, Austria, Skipper John Mikel
Obi is unfazed by the underdog tag branded Nigeria.
The three-time African champions are the third team in Group D to arrive Russia
as Argentina and Iceland landed 24 hours earlier. Croatia is expected to also
hit town today ahead of their opening game with Nigeria on Saturday in
Kaliningrad.
“We are okay with the garb of the underdog. But
the (three) defeats in the warm up matches have done something for us – we have
our heads firmly on our shoulders and we are focused.
“Together, we have reviewed the matches and
learnt so many lessons. We will approach the World Cup matches differently,”
Mikel told reporters before Eagles boarded the executive chartered jet for the
Russian capital.
