Published: July 18, 2015

Rizespor defender Godfrey Oboabona believes he’ll not find it difficult dealing with the threat of Fenerbahce new signings Robin van Persie and Nani as well as Antalyaspor new poster boy Samuel Eto’o when the Super Lig begins mid- August.

The fixtures have not been kind to manager Hikmet Karaman and his charges, with a home game against Fenerbahce in their second match of the season.

“Van Persie, Nani and Eto’o are not the toughest players I have played against. So I see no problem facing them by God’s grace.” said Godfrey Oboabona to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Pre - season training has been fine. We lost 1- 0 against Vitesse but it’s just preparation for the season.

“I am in good physical condition now.”

The Nigeria international was named in the starting line-up for Rizespor’s friendly against Vitesse on Friday.
