Rizespor defender Godfrey Oboabona has shared his thoughts and impressions on the upcoming international friendly between Nigeria and Mexico billed to be staged at the Georgia Dome, Atlanta on March 5.
The former Sunshine Stars skipper has stressed that victory should not be the main concern of Nigerians but they should see the tie as a good tune up game for the Eagles ahead of this summer’s World Cup.
“The most important thing for now is not the result, whether we win or draw.
“The team wants to use this game to concentrate and prepare for the World Cup properly.
“I am looking forward to the game against Mexico and we expect the match to be interesting,” Oboabona told allnigeriasoccer.com.
The 23 - year - old stopper has recorded over 20 appearances for the National team.
He was named in the rosters for both the African Cup of Nations and Fifa Confederations Cup in 2013.
