Captain Yobo Prefers a win Against Argentina as Oboabona resumes training ahead of the clash

The Super Eagles' Captain, Joseph Yobo, who is just one game away from joining the centenary group with 100 international caps, has warned his teammates that the last Group F clash is going to be a difficult one.

“The Argentina match is going to be another exciting and difficult game because we know how good they are with a lot of talents.

“It will be great to achieve the centenary mark for Nigeria. It shows what I have been able to contribute to Nigeria’s progress in the game. But the most important thing for me is to help my country do well at the World Cup.

Yobo was quoted as saying he preferred a win on Wednesday to his much advertised attainment of 100 caps if featured in the match against Argentina.“It is 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,” Yobo said.

Meanwhile, Super Eagles defender, Godfrey Oboabona, returned to training camp on Monday after he limped off the team’s first Group match against Iran at the ongoing FIFA World Cup tournament in Brazil.

Oboabona had missed the Super Eagles second group match against Bosnia-Herzegovina due to the injury he sustained in the opening group match.

A statement from the Super Eagles camp by Ben Alaiya, the team’s Media Officer, said team medics had given him a clean bill of health.

The statement said the team started training for Wednesday’s group decider against former world champions, Argentina, immediately it settled down in Porto Alegre.

The team had left Campinas to Porto Alegre in company with Nigeria Football Federation Vice Chairman, Mike Umeh, and House of Reps members, led by the Vice Chairman, House Committee on Sports, Alhaja Ayo Omidiran.
