Super Eagles right full back, Chibuzor Okonkwo is positive his side will have a good game against the Catalonian selected side in Wednesday’s friendly in Spain.
Okonkwo missed the friendly tie no thanks to non-possession of valid Shengen Visa.
The Eagles are already in Faro, Portugal and will head to Spain on Tuesday for the crunch encounter that will serve as tune-up match for the side’s 2013 AFCON title chase in South Africa.
Okonkwo said if the Eagles adhere strictly to instruction they will be able to nick a positive result against star-studded Catalonian side.
“I’m confident that the Eagles will get a good result against the Catalonian selected once they play according to the coaches’ instructions.
“The Catalonian side we’re told are star-studded but they’re beatable. We’ve been given the best training and equally prepared mentally and physically to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
“I won’t be there physically but I’ll continue to pray for their success not only in the friendly game but during the Afcon proper,” said the former Heartland strongman to supersport.com.
The former Bayelsa United defence ace is still hopeful that a miracle will see him feature for the side in South Africa.
“Everything is still possible, I could still be in South Africa if God decrees it to be so. So I live each day believing that a miracle could still happen,” he said.
The Eagles will head to Nelspruit, South Africa where they are due to start their title campaign against Group C West African foes, Burkina Faso on January 21 before they face Cup holders, Zambia and Ethiopia.
