Keshi: I no go fall una hand

Keshi: I no go fall una hand

AS the days approach swiftly for the kick off of the
World Cup, Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has
promised not to ‘’fall the hands of Nigerians’’, as they
say in local parlance which means not disappointing
Nigerians at the World Cup.
Having played two friendlies – 2-2 with Scotland and a
scoreless draw with Greece, Keshi may have finally
realised the task that awaits him as he plays in the
World Cup as coach having been denied to take Togo
to the World Cup despite qualifying them. ‘’My brother,
it is not an easy job’’, he admitted to Sports Vanguard
before embarking on the journey to Brazil.
Two games without a win, Nigerians are hissing and
sighing on the chances of the Super Eagles moving
beyond the second round which has been their best
mark since making their debut in USA ’94.
‘These players are careful not to get injuries. Some of
them wanted to impress us after announcing the list to
the World Cup’’, spokesman of the Super Eagles, Ben
Alaiya quoted Keshi as saying.
Keshi knows the expectations of Nigerians and his last
friendly against United States of America is expected to
be better than the Greece game. ‘’I know what
Nigerians want and I promise not disappoint Nigerians.
It
-was not easy selecting these final 23 players to
represent Nigeria. But, I promise that these 23 are the
best we have and they will make Nigeria proud in
Brazil’’, he vowed. culled
