Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has hit out at the love
lost relationship between his team and Nigerians yesterday describing it as
“shameful and a pity”.The coach was asked if he feels under-appreciated by the
fact that his countrymen do not have confidence in his team.He paused, looked
up to the ceiling and said; “it’s a shameful thing if my nation do not have confidence
in their team. I think it’s a pity. I have confidence in this team and we are
ready for Sunday”, he said
There have been a cocktail of opinions regarding the Super
Eagles outing in the Nations Cup here in South Africa with many terming the
Nigerian team’s performance as average.Speaking also yesterday in a World Press
Conference in Rustenberg, the venue of the quarter-final match that has been
termed Super Sunday, Super Eagles skipper, Joseph Yobo said that they would
fear no foe on Sunday.“We respect the Ivorian team because they have got big
names in their squad. But this is football where big names have no impact on
football. Our team are young and have got determination to excel. We are
focused on moving ahead and I believe in this team”, he said.
