Yobo confident of victory against Ethiopia

Super Eagles team captain Joseph Yobo has assured Nigerians of a good result against the Walyas Antelopes of Ethiopia today in Rustenburg.

Speaking during the team's press conference in Rustenburg on Monday afternoon, Yobo noted that the Rustenburg pitch would help the Eagles' style of play that was greatly impaired by the sandy pitch of the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit where the team had played its last two games.

Yobo also said he was quite confident of the Eagles moving to the next stage and even the final because 'after so many caps he needs to win something for Nigeria' and he wants the 2013 Nations Cup trophy and was ready to help the team get there.

There was however a mild drama when questions on his fitness got the Fenerbahce defender furious at the gathered pressmen.

On his part, Coach Keshi remained jovial throughout the press conference except when he came to Yobo’s aid on the issue of fitness. He maintained that everyone in his team was all right and ready for the Ethiopia encounter.
