Super Eagles invitee, Babatunde Michael, has said that he might emerge as the Nigeria’s version of Argentina’s star, Lionel Messi, when the World Cup 2014 gets underway in Brazil next month, if he makes the final cut.
Michael’s invitation has recently been greeted with lots of criticisms, but the former Heartland of Owerri player told SportingLife that he will justify his inclusion in the team by fighting for a place.
He said: “Great players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and others gained their international recognition starting as inexperienced players but today they have matured and doing well.
“I am going to make sure I become Nigeria’s Lionel Messi in Brazil 2014″
It’s all about having the right chances. As a matter of fact, it will be an opportunity to repay the coaching crew for the confidence
reposed in me.
“World Cup is a good platform for young players like me to exhibit our potentials”.
I am ready to work hard and prove that the decision by the coach was right.
