We’re Ready For Ethiopia – Igiebor In-form Real Betis of Spain midfielder, Nosakhire ‘Nosa’ Igiebor has declared that he and his teammates in the Super Eagles are ready both mentally and physically for this weekend’s World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia. Speaking against the backdrop of a string of torrid results picked up by key players of the Nigerian national team with their clubs last weekend, which many analysts believe could rub off on their performances with the Eagles against Ethiopia on Sunday, Igiebor said all the invitees are poised to explode in Addis Ababa. The former Warri Wolves of Delta State and Lillestrøm of Norway battling midfielder, who made a mark with the under-23 national team before getting a full senior cap, stressed that the Eagles are prepared to take Ethiopia to the cleaners in this weekend’s first leg final qualifier to Brazil 2014. With Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi likely to stick with his 4-3-3 formation, Nosa Igiebor could be handed a role in midfield alongside John Obi Mikel of Chelsea and Eddy Ogenyi Onazi of Lazio for the October 13 crunch game in Addis Ababa and the 22-year-old star, who has played five matches for the Nigerian squad so far this year, says he is up to task once again. “For us, we are prepared mentally, psychologically too because we know what it will take to be in Brazil 2014. The understanding between myself, Mike and Onazi is good because we flow a lot but I think that we can still get better and we’ll keep working towards it,” Igiebor told brilafm.net.
