Super Eagles psychologist, Robinson Okosun insists he has never had an easier time with the squad and believes all 24 players in camp are primed for the kill ahead of Saturday’s 2014 Fifa World Cup playoff against Ethiopia.
Okosun, who has over 10 years of experience working with the Nigeria national team, has been monitoring the players since Monday and has now passed a vote of confidence on Stephen Keshi’s charges as he exclusively revealed to supersport.com that they are all in the right frame of mind for the task at hand.
“The players are all in high spirits. I have never had my work so easy in all my time at the national team. What I noticed when I discussed with the players is that they all have one burning desire; to play at the World Cup. At this point, I doubt if any team can stop them,” Okosun said.
He then expressed happiness with the form of the players at their different clubs which he said will be crucial in the eventual outcome of the game on Saturday.
“Victor Moses told me he’s enjoying life at Liverpool and even with the squad rotation of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, Mikel has said that the coach rates him as one of the most important players in the team.
“As for Emenike, our top striker, he has been scoring goals every other day at Fenerbahce and he could hardly sit still during our session. He wanted the game (against Ethiopia) to begin immediately.
“The boys are all on fire. In all my years with the national team, I have never seen players as fired up as this. I honestly feel very sorry for the Ethiopians because they will be badly beaten,” he said.
Okosun concluded by discussing the role head coach, Stephen Keshi has played in the renaissance of the new-look Super Eagles and predicted that the best days of the team are still to come.
“Keshi is a special coach. You only need to be in the same room for a few minutes with him to realize this is no ordinary individual.
“He is someone the players easily relate to. They love him and respect him at the same time which is not something easy to achieve.
“He has built a team that is united for a purpose. The unity and friendliness in the camp is unbelievable. The players see themselves as brothers.
“In every training session, the mood is like a cup final as the players give it their all. No one shows complacency and that can only spell good tidings for Nigerian football in future,” he said.
