Super Eagles and Dynamo Kyiv of Ukraine hitman, Brown Ideye, was in the Super Eagles camp in Port Harcourt at the weekend, not only to encourage his teammates but also to assure the coaches of his state of fitness ahead of Mundial 2014 in Brazil.
The easy going striker breezed into camp just before dinner time on Saturday and went back-slapping and exchanging pleasantries with his teammates some of whom he has not seen since after the friendly against Italy at the Craven Cottage over a month ago.
Ideye said he was in good shape and despite the holidays he has been keeping fit and getting set for the restart of the Ukrainian season as well as the Eagles preparations for the World Cup in Brazil. He also said he believes that despite the departure of some key players from the home based Eagles the team still has the potential to shock the continent at the CHAN tourney. “My mates will do well at the CHAN tourney because we have a good team and a very good technical crew backed by a performing NFF”, he said.
When Ideye met Keshi, the Eagles boss told him that he has a battle on his hands as he has discovered new home based players who are ready to challenge for shirts in all the positions ahead of the World Cup. “Sir, they are all welcome, the more the merrier”, he said with a smile.
