Super Eagles boss, Stephen Keshi
has come out to advise Nigerians to remain steadfast behind the national team,
as it will be bold and ready for the quarter final duel against the Elephants
of Cote D’ Ivoire on Sunday. His skipper, Joseph Yobo also spoke in similar vein
on Thursday in Rustenberg.
Keshi was
reacting to news making the rounds that Nigerians were scared of the
confrontation with the Ivorien Elephants. “If you must win a trophy you must
beat the biggest and best teams, so why should we be afraid of any team. The
bigger they come the bigger they will fall. Who told you that if it were to be
the Hawks of Togo, it will be a walk-over. There is no small team anywhere and
the Ivoriens know. It’s a classic and we will show why we are the Super Eagles
on Sunday”.
Keshi said the spirit in camp has
been very good so far and all the 23 players in the squad are all healthy and
ready to give their best. Nigerians should just be praying for their team and
have belief in them instead of expressing any fear, because on Sunday it will
eleven players from Ivory Coast against the same number from Nigeria”.
Yobo on
his part said the game will be an exciting one for him and he’s looking forward
eagerly to it. “They are a great team and so we are and we know ourselves well,
so no one is afraid of the other just a case of top football giants clashing at
the wrong time. I think we shall be up to it”, he said.
