Former Nigeria skipper Segun ‘Mathematical’ Segun Odegbami has tipped the Super Eagles to make history at the World Cup in Brazil as they are hungry to do so.
Odegbami watched the team’s last training in the United States of America on Monday and thereafter declared: “I like what I saw at the training ground, the hunger of the boys, the confidence they displayed and the way and manner the coaching crew conducted themselves.
“Something tells me history is in the making with this team.”
Looking trim and boyish in his jeans top and trousers, Odegbami said he was motivated to come and join the team’s training because of the quality of the players and coaches.
He even threatened jokingly at a point while discussing with team skipper, Joseph Yobo and coach Stephen Keshi, that he would have joined the session, but for the lateness of his invitation letter.
“That means we will need double ambulances here”, Keshi retorted.
The team had their last training on Monday evening in Jacksonsville, Florida, the United States of America, and it lasted two hours.
They will depart Tuesday morning for Miami, Florida, from where they will connect and American Airways airliner to Samba land Brazil.
The flight from Miami to Sao Paulo is scheduled to be eight hours, according to team administrator, Dayo Enebi Achor.
Already, the NFF and FIFA have perfected plans to give the team a grand welcome at the airport, including a media press conference and reception by the city authorities in Sao Paulo, before the team will retire to its camp base in Brazil’s bustling commercial capital.
