Sports: Argentina are Underrating Us, They will Regret It: Emenike

Well Fenerbahce and Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Emenike has warned the Argentine that if he underestimates the Eagles, they will regret it.

He said that his teammates and will approach the Argentina game like any other and will give them no special treatment.

He told The Nation: “I don’t want to be particular about Argentina, every team is important, and they are not better than other countries in the group.” He continued: “Everyone is entitled to his opinion when it comes to football, exchanging words over matches that have not been played is unnecessary and distracting. We are not going to be distracted by their threats.

The truth is that they are underrating us which I think it’s good for us. They are a very good side no doubt but the best team also loses matches. “Sometimes it’s not about self ability.

Argentina is dependent on Messi, but the Eagles team is not built around any particular player. We depend on collective abilities and that gives us an edge. They (Argentina) can underrate us if they like, but that will be at their own peril.

Nigeria will approach each game with as much maturity as we can. Messi must know that he alone cannot play all the positions.

Nigeria and Argentina are in Group F, but the Super Eagles will face Iran, Bosnia & Herzegovina before meeting the South American power house.
