FC Dallas Striker Akindele Unfazed By Prospect Of Facing Mexico At Azteca Stadium
Canada national-teamer Tesho Akindele is unfazed by the prospect of facing Mexico at Estadio Azteca on Tuesday night despite the Canadians suffering a 3-0 home loss to the opponents last Friday.<br /><br />The Canadian squad have been well received since their arrival in Mexico but it will be a totally different ball game during the game, with several passionate El Tricolor supporters expected to show up for the rematch.<br /><br />“We control our own destiny. That’s the mentality,” Akindele told MLSsoccer.com. <br /><br />“Everybody’s saying, ‘Look, we’re in a great spot, we have one of the best teams that Canada Soccer has ever had, and we’re pretty confident right now.”<br /><br />He added : “People have told me it’s an intimidating atmosphere with the stadium and the fans, but I’m not going to be sitting here worrying, worst-case scenario, how intimidating it might be.<br /><br />“We’ll see, when the time comes; I think we’ll all be able to deal with it.”<br /><br />The 2014 MLS Rookie of the Year started on the bench at the BC Place Stadium (Vancouver, British Columbia), but was introduced seven minutes from time.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley<br /><br />Photo Credit :fcdallas.com<br />
