Sparta Rotterdam Coach Praises Mikel, Omeruo

Spartak Moscow striker Emmanuel Emenike was on target after 55 minutes in the Super Eagles 1-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam on Saturday afternoon in an exhibition match.

In his post match comments, the coach of the Dutch team, Michel Vonk chastised the Eagles for being wasteful, but praised the duo of Mikel Obi and Kenneth Omeruo for their display.

''Your number 10 (Mikel), is very good, creative and has good vision, then Omeruo, very good aerially and gives good cover for the keeper,'' said Vonk.

He added: ''Your team play physical and quick and at times they slow it down and before you know it they are all over you. I told my players that is what to expect and we were not disappointed. Their quality is very good.

"Your team wasted a lot of chances, they must learn to take them at the Nations Cup and I wish them good luck.''

The Eagles depart their training camp in Faro, Portugal for South Africa, venue of the African Cup of Nations, on January 16th.
