“I have come to fight for a jersey in this friendly match
that is part of preparations for the Rio Olympics and I am happy to be
among the invited players. You know I was part of the Golden Eaglets
team that defeated the Brazilians at the last U-17 World Cup in Chile
and so it will a pleasure for me to play them at their backyard and
hopefully find the back of the net, as I did against them in Chile,” he
