Emmanuel Emenike has dismissed suggestions that the Nigerian fans will be relying on him to guide the Super Eagles past the group stages.
The Fenerbahce striker has admitted that only a team would work see them escape their group.
The Africa Cup of Nations holders kick off their 2014 World Cup campaign against Iran in Curitiba on June 16.
“No, that is wrong. I appreciate the fans for their love. I am not the messiah in the Eagles, I am here to contribute my quota to the team.
“If I have an opportunity to score, I will, and if it is any of my teammates, I will celebrate because what matters is the result and not the goal scorers. So, I need them and they need me to make the team great. I will not bow to any opponent until the final whistle,” Emenike concluded.
Nigeria will look to become the first team from the African continent to reach the semi finals at the World Cup.
The Super Eagles are drawn in Group F alongside Argentina, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iran
