Hapoel Petah Tikva defensive midfielder Chimezie Mbah reckons that the victory over Hapoel Acre last weekend will motivate the team in future matches.

“I played for 90 minutes. We started the season badly but I believe we are going to climb up the league table soon.

“The team believed that we will get things done against Hapoel Acre, because no one will be happy to see his team going down,” the ex Flying Eagles star told allnigeriasoccer.com.

When quizzed about his personal targets for the 2014 - 2015 campaign, the Hapoel Petah Tikva number 2 replied :“I believe with the help of God I will be higher than where I am this season.

“My target is to play in the English Premier League or German League, and I pray one day I will be in the Super Eagles. I have confidence in my abilities.

“For now, I do not know what position we will finish at the end of the season but we will see how it goes.”

The former Warri Wolves player joined Hapoel Petah Tikva on a two  - year contract in the summer transfer market.
