Super Eagles Star Etebo Ahead Of World Cup Opener : We Are Improving
Published: June 11, 2018CD Feirense midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo has admitted that the Super
Eagles are not yet a finished product but are improving ahead of their
opening game at the World Cup against Croatia on Saturday, June 16.
Nigeria
kicked off their schedule in 2018 with a hard-fought 1-0 win over
Poland but failed to win their last four friendly matches against
Serbia, Democratic Republic of Congo, England and Czech Republic.
Due
to their poor showing in those preparatory games, a number of fans have
written off the chances of the team in Russia, especially as they are
in a tricky group containing Argentina, Croatia and Iceland.
Speaking to reporters, Etebo said : ''We are improving every day, and there is a room to improve.
''Every
training session, like the friendly games, it is important for the
team, it is important that we know our weakness. We are improving every
day.''
The Super Eagles will fly to Russia on
Monday evening and will hold their first training session on Tuesday,
starting from 1700 hours local time, with 500 fans, including 300 school
children, expected to watch the open training session.
