Super Eagles midfielder and Captain, Mikel Obi has reiterated the team’s committment to brush aside the threat made by the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon ahead of Friday’s 2018 World Cup qualifier in Uyo.
The three-time Africa champions, are top of group B with six points having beating Zambia 2-1 and Algeria 3-1 while Cameroon are second on two points after drawing against Algeria and Zambia respectively.
As both teams will be desperate for three points, the former Chelsea midfielder, stated that the team will pick the maximum points against Cameroon at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
“These three points will go a long way in our qualifying campaign. We have got a very good team . We have got a very young team with a lot of quality ,” Mikel said.
“We are on top of the table on Six points and we want to win . Cameroon also want to win , so it’ s really going to be a do- or- die affair . We are looking forward to the game and we want to make sure we qualify and hopefully we will do that. We need to make sure we qualify first. There is a big task ahead of us”
