Mba, Idris Set Sights On Rwanda.

Two goals hero in the friendly against Liberia last Wednesday, Sunday Mba and ever-improving central defence ace, Papa Idris, have said they hope to continue with the new winning spirit of the national team when the team takes on Rwanda in Kigali February 29.

Mba, who plays for Warri Wolves said he will never allow the two goals he scored in Monrovia , to get into his head as he was sure that the future hold a bigger pie for him in the game. He praised the coaching crew for the new spirit in the national team, and called on Nigerians to always offer fervent prayers for the team and its officials.

On his part, Idris who features for Kano Pillars, said he will strive to make the team to Rwanda and like he did in Monrovia , show the stuff that the Nigerian national team is made of.

“We have the players and the coaches have been wonderful in the manner they have been training us for the matches all we need no is for the general public to offer their words of prayers and encouragement and we will get to the promised land”.

Idris and his central defence pair Azubuike Egwueke, have been receiving plaudits from Liberians and Nigerians who watched last Wednesday’s game for the excellent manner they curtailed the opponent’s forays into the Nigerian vital area.

Training resumed Saturday morning for the encounter in Kigali , with 19 players expected to be present at the FIFA Goal Project site where the team has been shaping up.
