Published: June 13, 2018Captain of the Nigeria National Team, Obi Mikel, has noted that
they have stepped up their preparations for their World Cup opener
against Croatia on Saturday evening under their guidance of Gernot Rohr.
According to the former Chelsea star, he is satisfied with the training facilities at the Super Eagles base camp in Yessentuki.
''We
need to continue to work hard, we need to continue to train and do
exactly what we want and what the coach asks for us,'' Mikel told

''I think it's (the base camp) good, the field is very good, the fans and the children who came to support us are amazing.
''It
was nice that after the training we had the opportunity to give some
autographs to the guys. We are in a very good place, I believe.''
