'my Players Must Brace Up For African Challenge'-keshi by Nobody: 7:14pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
Ahead of the battle of Point Noire this weekend, Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has warned his players to brace themselves up for a very challenging outing in the Congolese city. The former Nigeria captain says he has been telling his players to prepare their minds for a thorough African experience. The African champions are made up predominantly of overseas based players, with a couple of them even born outside of Nigeria, but Keshi says the players must be ready and ‘switch off the European mentality and switch one the African mentality.’ “We always have this everywhere we go so they just have to be ready, this is African football it’s not European football. I always tell my players ‘once you leave Europe, switch on your African mentality and switch off your European mentality’. So they should be ready,” Keshi told SL10.ng. The Nigerians are under intense pressure to qualify for the 2015 African Cup of Nations, having started the qualifiers poorly and must be desperate to win back-to-back games against the Red Devils and the Bafana Bafana if they are stand any chance of qualification. They won the last edition of the tournament in South Africa in 2013, and know it will be a disaster if they fail to defend their crown in 2015. |
