In the spring, we've got 12 matches in the Premier League plus play - off games in the Europa League. And we must be in the best physical condition and have a descent performance in both tournaments.''<br /><br />Teammate Brown Ideye has been named in the Super Eagles squad for the African Cup of Nations which runs from January 19 - February 10 in South Africa.<br /><br />''There are a lot of talented players in Nigeria. I am very pleased that Brown made the team and will represent our country in such a big tournament like the African Nations Cup. Hope it will bring much benefit to Nigeria. And we and the entire country will support the team at a distance,'' Haruna said.<br /><br />The Kievites welcome Bordeaux in the knock out round of the Europa League on February 14th. Haruna is no stranger to French football. It would be recalled that the 22 - year - old central midfielder arrived the Ukrainian capital from Monaco two summers ago.<br /><br />''You know after I moved to Kiev, especially French football, could not follow. I know that Bordeaux is composed of good players playing well in the league, ranking seventh in the standings. I can only say that it will not be easy, but our two-legged confrontation will determine who is destined to go on,'' he concluded.<br /><br /><i>Photo Credit: Dynamo Kiev</i><br /><br />
