Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi is
not taking it lightly with his critics,
particularly, those with the opinion
that he was depending too much on
the home-based players.
The coach who took eight local stars
to the recently concluded FIFA
Confederations Cup descended on his
former national team mate, Sunday
Oliseh for attributing the team’s poor
outing in Brazil to Keshi’s dependence
on local stars.
Keshi and Oliseh
”It is a shame that Sunday Oliseh
could say a thing like that. He was a
nobody when he came to the national
team. He started from home too,”
Keshi said.
He called on the media to back his
rebuilding project as he asked, “is it
bad that we are trying to build a team
with the inclusion of home-based
players? Please, help me question the
integrity of those who are opposed to
this and Tell them what it’s right.”
He was not finished yet with
Oliseh.”When he came to the national
team, I took him as a younger
brother. I later (as an assistant coach
to Amodu Shuabu) made him captain
and he became a super star. Who
knows what these boys could become
in future?”
Keshi took five local players to the
Nations Cup in South Africa. Godfrey
Obaobona and Sunday Mba were
outstanding and were rated more
than many of the foreign-based
players
