Argentina's super star, Lionel Messi recently
came out and warned Argentina group opponents
in the World Cup that they wont take it easy on
them.
Well Fenerbahce and Super Eagles forward
Emmanuel Emenike has warned the Argentine
that if he underestimates the Eagles, they will
regret it.
He said that his teammates and will approach the
Argentina game like any other and will give them
no special treatment.
He said:"I don't want to be particular about
Argentina, every team is important, and they are
not better than other countries in the group," said
told The Nation. He continued: "Everyone is
entitled to his opinion when it comes to football,
exchanging words over matches that have not
been played is unnecessary and distracting. We
are not going to be distracted by their threats.
The truth is that they are underrating us which I
think it's good for us. They are a very good side
no doubt but the best team also loses matches.
"Sometimes it's not about self ability.
Argentina is dependent on Messi, but the Eagles
team is not built around any particular player. We
depend on collective abilities and that gives us an
edge. They (Argentina) can underrate us if they
like, but that will be at their own peril.
Nigeria will approach each game with as much
maturity as we can. Messi must know that he
alone cannot play all the positions.
Emenike also took time out to ask Nigerians to
keep on praying for the Eagles, so that the grace
of God will guide them.
Nigeria and Argentina are in Group F, but the
Super Eagles will face Iran, Bosnia & Herzegovina
before meeting the South American power house.
