midfielder Rabiu Ibrahim and are set to add Efe Ambrose to bolster their defence.
Emenike who was instrumental to his team’s qualification
into the group stage of the Champions League at the expense of his former team,
said he will do his best to see that his team down Barcelona .
"The group is tight as all the teams in group stage of
the competition are good for the title, but there are always favourites,”
Emenike said.
“We will not be a pushover to Barcelona
and the other teams. I know people don't rate us as one of the favourites but
we can make history as we will shock everybody. We are capable of going all the
way to beat Barcelona and all the
teams in our group.”
He added: “I am not afraid of Barcelona
and I am sure same goes for my team mates. Our coach will be a big factor in
the game against Barcelona as he
has played and beaten them while in Spain
and that can still happen. We only respect them as they play the best brand of
football around, but we won’t be intimidated.
"Benfica and Celtic are also big teams and that is the
more reason we need to be focussed on all the games we will play and not think
of Barcelona only because the other
teams also have a good reputation in Champions League.”
