Levante of Spain striker Obafemi Martins has heaped plaudits on the
Super Eagles for mauling Liberia 6-1 in Calabar last Saturday to qualify
for next year's Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
Martins is particularly pleased with the work the team's gaffer,Stephen
Keshi has done in transforming the Eagles to a scintillating team
Nigerians saw on Saturday.
“They deserve all the accolades they got from everybody and I want to
add my voice to that.They did the unthinkable,scoring six times against a
team that forced them to a 2-2 draw in the first leg.
“The result will not only bring confidence back to the fold but also
shows that Stephen Keshi is really working hard to see that Nigeria
reclaims her rightful position on the world map”,he said.
While optimistic of getting a recall to the Eagles,Martins says he
still has plenty of room for improvement at his new club after scoring
two goals in his first three games.
The 27-year-old striker who joined the La Liga side on a two-year deal
on a free transfer after Rubin Kazan agreed to terminate his contract
before its expiration date warned his side's rivals that they can expect
plenty more fireworks once he reaches full fitness.
"I'm getting used to each player on a daily basis and I’m much quicker
in front of goal now,” he began in a chat with Complete Sports.
"I'm very confident that I will score more goals with Levante this season and this could start against Getafe on Sunday".
