We are on the right track-Keshi
Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi’s rebuilding process may
not have gone down well with some board members of the Nigeria Football
Association but he believes the team is on the right track towards greatness after
the gloom that enveloped the entire country following the squad’s inability to
qualify for the last African Nations Cup in Gabon
and Equatorial Guinea .
The former Togo and Mali tactician who has shown faith in
the ability of players in the Nigeria Premier League, which has led to the
discovery of talents like Ejike Uzoenyi, Gabriel Rueben, Papa Idris, Azubuike
Egwuekwe and others, has consistently maintained that the future of the
national team lies in the blending of both local and foreign based talents.
“I am happy with our experiment so far and we will continue
to give all the players, those playing in and outside Nigeria
the opportunity to showcase their talents for the good of the country. It is
still work in progress and I’m sure that Nigerians will be happy with the
coaching when we are done building a strong team for the country.” Keshi said.
Some board members of the NFA have been alleged to be putting
pressure on Keshi to invite some Europe based players to
fortify perceived leakages noticed in the squad with the gaffer standing his ground
that he is on the right track.
