Ejide Fired Up For Maputo Mambas!

Goalkeeper Austin Ejide is fired up not just for this weekend's clash against Mozambique, but also for the duration of the long-haul 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Ejide was among the first arrivals at the Super Eagles' Mthunzi Lodge camp and told journalists that the Super Eagles need to be focused for the game.

"This World Cup is very important for us. It doesn’t matter who we are playing. We have to be at the World Cup and we know that we have to fight all the way for it.

"All we have to do is play with commitment on the field and believe in ourselves because we have a lot of quality players in the team," he told KickOffNigeria.com.

And to keep his eyes firmly on the ball, Ejide has adopted US President Barack Obama's campaign slogan 'Yes We Can!'

"That is the way we should approach all our matches. For me, I believe that We Can!"
