JOHN Mikel Obi has assured Nigerians that Zambia's Chipolopolo can't put pressure on the Super Eagles, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
Both nations lock horns in Sunday's Russia 201 World Cup 1st leg qualifiers at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, Ndola.
The Chelsea midfielder and Nigeria soccer team captain said on Friday: "There's always pressure in every game so I don't think there's any special pressure for us to deliver on Sunday. We're are relaxed"
"We have been talking to ourselves. The responsibility is definitely on us once we get into the pitch and we're preparing ourselves."
Asked if he would revert to his attacking style of football, "I grew up playing offensive until I got to Chelsea where I've been in the holding position. For me anywhere in the middle is fine."
