Keshi Urges Eagles To Beat Cote D’Ivoire

Out-of-contract
coach, Stephen Keshi has tasked the Super Eagles to go all out and shine against star-studded Cote d’Ivoire and Sudan in test matches in Abu Dhabi to prove that football is not dead in Nigeria.
Keshi, who is on holidays in Benin City, put through a surprise call to the team at dinner time on Friday and urged the players to play according to instructions of the coaching staff led by assistant coach Daniel Amokachi.
“The players you are going to play against don’t have two heads or four legs and they are not more talented than you, so you can beat them and tell them that football is not dead in Nigeria,” he said.
Keshi won AFCON 2013 for Nigeria and took the team to the second round of FIFA World Cup in Brazil last year, but failed to secure the team qualification for the 2015 AFCON title in Equatorial Guinea.
