Agu not under pressure to replace Mikel
Mikel Agu has insisted there is no
pressure on him after he was called up by the Super Eagles as a late
replacement for skipper Mikel Obi for Tuesday’s World Cup warm-up
against Serbia in London.
Work permit issues have stopped skipper
Mikel from leaving China causing coach Gernot Rohr to call up
Turkey-based defensive midfielder Mikel Agu.
“I am not under any pressure to perform
in this team because I know it is all about football, I should be
enjoying it because this is my job and that is what I know how to do
best,” Agu told SCORENigeria.
He also praised the team for the 1-0 win in Poland on Friday night.
“It was a great game by the entire team, they did well collectively as a team,” he remarked.
Agu is on loan from FC Porto to Turkish club Bursaspor, who also parade Eagles stars William Troost-Ekong and Shehu Abdullahi.
“It was the right decision to come to
Turkey, I am playing games and doing well for my club. It has been great
for me, so too my Eagles teammates Shehu Abdullahi and William
Troost-Ekong,” the player, who was named in the Turkish topflight league
Team of the Week for the past weekend said.
