MANAGER of the Super Eagles, Lars Largerback has said there is not much to worry about in today's last group match against Korea, in spite of the fact that anything short of victory will see Nigeria out of the World Cup.
The Swede tactician stated that his wards are battle ready for the challenges ahead, as no player wants to end the World Cup campaign in the first round.
Lagerback said that the team is well focused as anything can happen in football.
"The boys are in high spirits at the moment and would put in their best to win the match," said the former coach of Sweden.
Meanwhile, captain, Nwankwo Kanu is optimistic of leading the team to victory today against Korea, which would be his first appearance in the ongoing South Africa 2010.
"I'm confident of playing, I have enough experience to lead the boys to victory. My experience is needed in this kind of competition and I'm suprised that I have not been featured since," Kanu who featured at France '98 and 2002 World Cup finals told Tribunesports.
Portuguese referee, Olegario Benquerenca, has been appointed to officiate the match.
