Emmanuel Emenike is not one given to making long speeches or granting interviews to the Press. He believes in letting his ability speak for him on the pitch of play.
At the open training camp where they allow the Press to watch and photographers take pictures, Emenike’s work rate was exciting as well as his ferocious shots at goal.

But the moment the training was over, he quickly took a position where the hordes of Press men would not find him.
Asked about their first match, he said that they have no choice than to beat Iran to move ahead.

‘’We’re ready and I think that we have to win our first match to strengthen things. That will give us the boost and prepare us well for the remaining two group games against Bosnia and Argentina”, he said as a matter of fact.
