The Super Eagles have recovered from the jetlag that arose due to their late arrival in Brazil and are relishing the clash against La Celeste Thursday.<\/p>\n

Nigeria arrived in Salvador, Bahia two days before their clash against Uruguay at Estadio Pituacu. The African champions held their first training inside the arena Tuesday and also trained Wednesday as they prepare to play against the champions of South America.<\/p>\n

Gone was the troubled start to the tournament that ensured the team arrived hours to their opening game due to a bonus row.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re ready. Of course we have had our issues. But that is not who we are. What we want to do is play football. I am proud of my players for the way they overcame tiredness, jetlag and everything else to get three points and those goals against Tahiti,\u201d Coach Stephen Keshi told KickOffNigeria.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we have tried to get them as much rest as possible and we just want them to have fun, \u201cWe know a little more about Uruguay. So we can plan a little better, but we will not be preparing much different from the way we normally do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have our own methods, our own tactics and our own way of playing, and that is what we plan to do,\u201d the former Hawks of Togo coach stated.<\/p>\n

Both nations have never met at senior level and it promises to be an exciting encounter in Salvador. The match will start 11pm (West African Time).<\/p>\n
