Nig Vs Malawi: Bewarang Warns Keshi Over Opponents’ Antics

Former Super Eagles as
sistant coach Bitrus Bewarang has warned Stephen Keshi not to give in to mind games from Malawi’s coach Tom Saintfiet.
There has been an exchange of words by coaches of the two nations in recent weeks, which culminated in the Malawian FA lodging a complaint with FIFA, in which they accused Keshi of making racially sensitive comments against Saintfiet.
Bewarang has however urged Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi to avoid unnecessary distractions by concentrating fully on this weekend’s encounter.
“I am happy this match will take place soon, but what I am not happy about is coach Keshi trying to fall into mind twisting tactics the coach of Malawi is trying to put him through,” Bewarang told newsmen.
“Let him not get angry because when he gets angry that can destabilise him and make him lose focus as regards the pattern of play or the kind of tactics he wants to employ in the game.
“It is important for the team and the technical crew to fully concentrate on the task ahead.”
