Super Eagles goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa has come out to say that Mexico are beatable ahead of next month’s international friendly. He recently revealed that Nigeria defeated them at the 1996 Olympics, so it is very possible again.
According to him, the last outing also ended in a draw and he believes Nigeria will make the nation proud against the South American nation when they meet in July.
He added that no match makes him panic because he has faith in his abilities and that of his teammates.
“Mexico are beatable. Remember that we defeated them at the 1996 Olympics, and we played a draw in our last outing,”
“They are a good side no doubt and they are very fast too, but we will have to give out our best to make Nigerians proud.”
“For me, no game makes me panic. All that I do is stay calm and relax my nerves if I am in goal.”
“I can remember vividly the World Cup qualifier against Cameroon, it was a very big game that had so much tension, however, I was dressed for action and did very well.”
“Also, I don’t put games in mind – I take it as it comes – and that is my own philosophy.”
“The invited players are made up of quality players.”
“I am sure if they are not doing well for their respective clubs, they won’t have the opportunity to be called up.”
“So, once you are invited to the national team, it means such a player is deserving of such a call-up.”
“All they need to do is go out there and make a name for themselves, their families and fans.”
