The former Arsenal striker held a motivational talk with the Super
Eagles players before the team's departure to Cuiabá, venue of the clash
with Bosnia and Herzegovina..
''I'm a Nigerian Ambassador. I arrived in Sao Paulo yesterday (two
days ago) and today I traveled to Campinas to talk with the players. .
''I talked a bit about the game on Saturday and I'm sure we will win.
Nigeria is able to qualify from the group, we can not be discouraged.
I'll be in the game in Cuiaba,'' Nwankwo Kanu said.
Nigeria will have a straightforward path to the knockout stages should
they defeat their European opponents at the Arena Pantanal on Saturday,
and Kanu has acknowledged that it will be a difficult contest.
''It will be a very difficult game. When both teams need to win, the game becomes very difficult.
''Bosnia is a good team, you have to be alert to Dzeko but the Nigerian
team is very good and I'm sure we'll have a good game,'' the former
Ajax Amsterdam star added.
The Super Eagles trained on Wednesday evening for about an hour at
Estádio Brinco de Ouro while they had a fitness session at the gym in
the morning.
