KESHI, MUSA: EAGLES ARE NOT SCARED OF XAVI,PUYOL

Super Eagles head coach,Stephen Keshi believes that,contrary to expectations,tonight's international friendly against a selected Catalonia side that will contain 10 players from the all-conguering Barcelona team won't be a stroll in the park for the host.

The Nigerian side will play against such world class stars as Xavi Hernandez,Carles Puyo,Victor Valdes and Jordi Alba of Barcelona and Keshi insists his boys will give their illustrious host something to chew tonight.

“These are big names no doubt but our players know that names don’t play football these days, we will just go out there and give our best against them,”Keshi said.  

CSKA Moscow star,Ahmed Musa has also insisted the Eagles will not be intimidated by the top stars they will face tonight.

He will up against Barcelona defenders Carlos Puyol, Gerrard Pique and Jordi Alba in this AFCON warm-up clash.

"Personally, it won't be hard to face them. I have faced a lot of world-class defenders especially in Champions league.

Others in our team have played at top level, so there is no reason to be afraid of facing any one,” he declared.

“Emma (Emenike) took on the Barcelona defence at Camp Nou, for one, so no cause for alarm. We are ready for them.”
