Nigeria midfielder Babatunde Michael has
his sights set on a starting role against Argentina in their last
World Cup Group F clash on Wednesday, africanfootball.com reports.
The Ukraine-based player, who was picked
ahead of Victor Moses in the 1-0 defeat of Bosnia on Saturday, was
substituted in the 76th minute by Shola Ameobi after he got injured.
The Volyn winger, whose inclusion in
Nigeria’s 23-man squad to the World Cup raised dust, has promised to
turn in more good performances for the Eagles.
He said, “I just need to keep the focus; I
am here in the Eagles to prove a lot of things. I am ready to give
everything to this team because I always believe I have all it takes to
play for Nigeria.
“I have a lot to give to Nigeria and also
owe my country a lot. And the future is bright with the quality of
players I am privileged to play alongside. Everybody here is my brother
and, I learn from them. They also see me as a friend and that makes it
easier for me to build my confidence.”
Meanwhile, Babatunde has resumed full training with his teammates.
“Babatunde (Michael) trained with the
team on Sunday, he trained normally with the squad who played against
Bosnia, I believe he is okay,” a source in the team told africanfootball.com
“Everybody trained well and there are no injury worries, only Godfrey Oboabona didn’t train.”
