Super Eagles would do better against Iceland – Mikel

Super Eagles captain and midfielder, Mikel Obi says the team must not dwell Nigeria’s loss to Croatia but focus on getting better against Iceland.

The defeat which put the team’s qualification to the knockout stages in jeopardy must see Nigeria beat Iceland on Friday to stand a slim chance of making it through.

However, Mikel, who was unhappy with the team’s display stated that the Super Eagles would do better in their next game.

“We have to play better. I think we can play better, we can do better,” Mikel told reporters.

“It’s difficult to say I think. We have to go back to the drawing board and see what we can do better, together as a team.

“It’s not easy playing against these fantastic players, European players, they can hurt you in any given time. We know that, but we have to do better.”
