Mikel has not been impressive for the Super Eagles lately. He lacked creativity in the last friendlies Eagles played against Scotland and Greece, drawing the two games and losing to the USA.
It was the same story for the entire team with Victor Moses and Osaze Odemwingie not doing better. With all the lacklustre runs, Mikel Obi says Nigeria can win the World Cup.
“I think we’re in better shape than in 2010,” he said.
“We want to go all the way. “With the team spirit and the calibre of the players we have, I think we can. We want to get to the final.
“You never know in football. We’re going into every game to win but have to take it one game at a time. “I think that is the mentality we have in this team.
“The young players are coming up and they’re learning from the older players. We’re mixing it up – the group is looking strong.”
Nigeria picked up a solitary point during their 2010 World Cup campaign, losing to Argentina and Greece before drawing with South Korea in their final game. VANGUARD
