FRANCE 98 – Nigeria: Kanu is confident

Statement made at the Château de Bellinglise (Ellincourt-Sainte Marguerite, Oise)

Nwankwo KANU, (4) NIGERIA

“I’m fine now. I’m fit to play even if I was only able to jog at Tuesday morning’s training session. I really think that SPAIN, who we’re playing in our first match, are a good team, with good individuals. We want to continue the impetus of Atlanta with a similar formation to the one that won us the gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1996.”
