Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi said that he was satisfied with the 1-1 draw his team posted against Zambia in their group C African Nations Cup match, Friday.
This is even as Nigerian football fans are agitated as they wonder why a team should surrender its lead in two consecutive games. Keshi must now beat Ethiopia on Tuesday to be assured of a place in the quarter-final.
“My goal was to get the three points against Zambia. But the draw was a good result and I’m happy with it.
He stated that he will employ a different approach to his last game against Ethiopia on Tuesday.
“Every game is different. What we did today we will not do against Ethiopia. I have seen them, they are a good side and I have a lot of respect for them.”
He defended John Obi Mikel who missed a penalty that could have influenced the outcome of the game.
“When it comes to penalties, there are no specialists. It is either you score or you don’t. Mikel scored from the spot in our last game against Liberia during the qualifier and if there was anybody to take the kick it was him.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I am Sorry for Keshi as he is wonderfully and footballically ignorant!
ReplyDeleteWe simply didn't step out with our best foot foward. Keshi did not go to the nation's cup with our best player's for reason's best known to him. Nigeria has always been a country where mediocrity is celebrated on the alter of excellence.
ReplyDeleteFor God sake, Keshi did his best, do you wants him to lace up for the game.
ReplyDeleteHe told the boys what to do but if the player decide to do other wise.
By the way Keshi is just grooming the new young lads. If you there change Keshi as the eagle's coach today, you will only have succeeded in taking a long distance step backwards in getting a formidable national team.
