Philadelphia Union Defender, Amobi Okugo Relishing Contest With Robbie Keane
Published: May 23, 2014
The central defender cum defensive midfielder must redouble his efforts in the clash with the experienced forward, who has netted 8 goals in all competitions this season, including his brace against Tijuana in the CONCACAF Champions League.
“I feel that we are playing Galaxy at a opportune time. They are missing key guys due to international duty and injuries and if we play to our ability we can come away with a tough win against a formidable opponent.
“Robbie Keane will be a tough matchup but that is what I relish to match myself up against some of the best players in the world,” Amobi Okugo said to allnigeriasoccer.com.
23 - year - old Okugo has worn the captain’s armband in his last two matches in the MLS due to the injury to Brian Carroll.
