2019 AFCON: How Eagles Will Play Against Tunisia – Mikel

Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has said the team will give their best when they take on Tunisia in a third place clash at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON ).

Naijaparry reported that Nigeria were beaten 2-1 by Algeria in a semi-final match at the competition and will face Tunisia on Wednesday.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Mikel who was formerly with Chelsea in England, described it as an important fixture.

“We (Super Eagles) are as disappointed with the result against Algeria as our fans, but that is football,” Mikel said.

“We really and truly appreciate the support of the Federal Government and also the NFF.

“We are determined to go into Wednesday’s game with renewed commitment and hunger so that we do not leave this competition empty – handed.”
