Harambee Stars mercurial midfielder Jamal Mohammed is delighted by his recall to the national team by new coach Adel Amrouche and he vowed to give his best and prove that he can still deliver.
.
Jamal was upbeat ahead of the clash describing it as an important game that should be taken seriously considering Nigeria were recently crowned the Afcon champions.
.
"I am more than delighted to have been recalled to the national team and I want to thank the coach for having faith in my abilities and as am enjoying great form now I intent to repay his faith in me with a virtuoso performance against Nigeria," Jamal said from his base in Oman.
.
"Nigeria is a very strong side and we should go there well prepared as they were recently crowned African champions and the morale in the team is high.
.
However I believe football dynamics are different as we will be going to play as the underdogs but they should be careful as we may spring a surprise and upset the form book," buoyant Jamal added.
.
Jamal currently plays for top Oman side Al Nasr where he has been the pillar in midfield earning rave reviews with his superb form that has seen him get several man of the match awards.
The match would be a very tight one because both teams would be very determined to win the game. I give it to Nigeria though, let's see who wins.
