Mikel ready for Beijing battle

Super Eagles skipper, Mikel Obi, is set to lead his Tianjin TEDA troops to war in China capital city, Beijing.

TEDA visits high-flying Beijing Guoan on Saturday with a mission to return with all three points.

Mikel, who missed Nigeria’s last two friendly fixtures against Poland and Serbia, is itching for war.

The 30-year-old took to social media on Friday to give updates on preparation for the tilt.

TEDA hasn’t done quite excellently thus far.

The Tigers have managed just one victory in four, losing two and once getting a share of the spoils.

Guoan, meanwhile, are currently placed third with nine points.

A victory for TEDA will lift them to sixth with seven points.
