‘Super Eagles’ll Surprise The World’

John Mikel Obi has said
that  Super Eagles squad is a special group of players, who would surprise many at the World Cup.
The Chelsea star and his teammates are one game away from reaching next year’s World Cup in Brazil, and the midfielder is confident they can make a splash.
“We have a very special group here, a very special team so if we go through, we’re going to surprise a lot of people,” he told Tidesports
It will be Mikel’s first World Cup, after he missed the last one with an injury, and he admits that it will be a satisfying moment.
“For me it’s going to be special because I missed out on the last one with a knee injury,” he said.
“But it will be the same for everyone in the team as well, that’s why we are working very hard towards this goal.
“A lot of the guys haven’t been there before either so we are all working very hard and hopefully we get the result we are hoping for.”
Mikel glittered at the Confederations Cup in Brazil earlier this year, a tournament used as a dress rehearsal for the World Cup proper, and he is angling for a repeat.
“I had a very good tournament in Brazil and I hope it continues. If we get to the World Cup, it’s going to be a great tournament for us because of the team we have here.”
