It was a smooth
one hour, thirty minutes flight for the Super Eagles and its officials from
Campinas to Porto Alegre, as the team gears up for Wednesday’s group decider
against former World Champions, Argentina.
On the flight
with the Eagles was the Vice President of the NFF, Chief Mike Okeke Umeh, House
Of Reps members led by Vice Chairman, House Committee on Sports, Alhaja Ayo
Omidiran, Coach Stephen Keshi and his crew and all the 23 players registered
for the tournament.
The team is
quartered at the Holiday Inn Hotel, about 10minutes drive from the airport and
the good news for the team is that defence Trojan, Godfrey Itama Oboabona, will
be back in training on Monday afternoon. “I am ready to resume training today
and the medics have given me a clean bill,” Oboabona said smiling as the team
alighted from the TAM flight that brought them from Campinas.
The team departed
for training immediately it settled down at about 2:15pm local time, which is
6:15 in Nigeria, with Team Skipper, Joseph Yobo, saying he prefers a win on
Wednesday to his much advertised attainment of a 100 caps if featured in the
match against Argentina.
“It’s good news that I will reach that milestone but
what is uppermost in my mind is for the team to win and for us to advance to
the next stage. The rest will be a bonus”, he said on Monday.
