Obinna Nsofor says the Super Eagles players are ready to lay it all on the line to get a result against Ethiopia in Sunday's 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifier.
.
Nsofor is one of five players in the current squad who were in Addis Ababa the last time the Super Eagles played there, and he says the Ethiopians will be hungry to win.
.
"They are a young team, they're thirsty, they're hungry to beat the Super Eagles because they have not beaten us before," he told KickOffNigeria.com.
.
"They have only played a draw.
.
"We are African champions and any team that plays against Nigeria will want to die. But inasmuch as they want to die for their country, we too also want to die for country, to show that we are African champions.
.
"I believe that together, playing as the coaches want us to play, as we have always played, we will win."
.
Nsofor says the target is to win in Ethiopia and make the second leg much easier "That is our game plan.
.
We want to make the second game back in Nigeria be more favorable, with a bit of relaxation, no pressure.
.
"This is the time for us to kill the game. In our heads, in our plans, we are working hard to counter the altitude, the humidity to make us stronger for the game."
That's good to know but they should try as much as possible to prove that on the pitch. The goals have to come!
