Philadelphia Union Defender, Amobi Okugo Relishing Contest With Robbie Keane

Philadelphia Union stand in skipper, Amobi Okugo is relishing the confrontation with Republic of Ireland international, Robbie Keane ahead of the meeting with LA Galaxy in the MLS on Sunday.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />&ldquo;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. <br /><br />&ldquo;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,&rdquo; Amobi Okugo said to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>. <br /><br />23 - year - old Okugo has worn the captain&rsquo;s armband in his last two matches in the MLS due to the injury to Brian Carroll. <br /><br />Photo Credit : philadelphiaunion.com<br />
