The Chelsea star believes the senior national
team boasts of quality players to qualify the
country for 2018 World Cup Russia
Nigeria captain, John Obi Mikel has backed
the present crop of Super Eagles to qualify
for the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia.
The Chelsea midfielder led the three-time
African champions to a 2-1 victory over
Zambia at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on
Sunday, and the 29-year old player says the
commitment shown by the team will be key
to their success.
He also commended the team’s technical
crew led by coach Gernot Rohr, saying they
have good plans for the team.
“I have belief that we can reach new heights
with this team," Mikel told NFF media
“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.”
The 2013 African Cup of Nations winner
added that: “We have a very good chance to
qualify for the World Cup if we keep our
heads and play at our best level.
“Each and every one of us is determined to
go to the World Cup. Now that we are top of
the table, we have to remain there.”
