Eddy Onazi Relishing Contest With Lazio Teammate, Senad Lulic

Lazio midfielder Eddy Onazi is eagerly looking forward to the clash with Bosnia on Saturday as he comes head - to - head with  his teammate at the Biancocelesti, Senad Lulic.

The Super Eagles squad arrived Cuiaba early Thursday afternoon, and barely four hours later were involved in a practice session at Federal University of Mato Grosso to continue their preparations for the tie against the Europeans.

Speaking before the squad left for evening practice, Eddy Onazi said : “One of the players of the Bosnian side is my teammate at Lazio, he plays from the left side of the attack and I want to prove to him that I am a great player on the world stage.”

Despite being a left winger, Senad Lulic was the joint top scorer for Lazio in the Serie A last term, finding the back of the net 7 times in 30 matches, the same goal tally as Germany international, Miroslav Klose.

The 28 - year - old has been on the books of Lazio since the summer of 2011.
