Ahead
of this evening’s 2014 World Cup qualifier between the Super Eagles and
the Harambee Stars of Kenya in Calabar, Super Eagles boss, Stephen
Okechukwu Keshi has charged his wards to play like the champions that
they are.
The team’s media Officer, Mr. Ben Alaiya
said after yesterday’s training, as if reading the minds of his staff,
Keshi gave an inspiring message after prayers have been said by Ogu.
He said “Gentlemen, I want us to play as champions of Africa. Yes, we were champions at the last Nations Cup in South Africa, but that is gone and gone forever. We want to play at the Brazil 2014 World Cup, with the semi final as our target and who says we cannot win the World Cup. But it has to start with a win against Harambee Stars on Saturday” (today).
Keshi added that the Kenyans have nothing to fight for in the World Cup qualifier but only to come and act as spoilers but the Eagles have everything, especially their integrity to fight for as champions of the continent and he was sure they will not let the nation down.
Team Skipper, Vincent Enyeama said later that the team has not been more motivated for any encounter than the game against Kenya.
“We have since forgotten about the Nations Cup win in South Africa, what we are thinking about now is to qualify for the World Cup and do very well at the championship in Brazil”, declared the man who has been generally adjudged as Africa’s best goalkeeper of the 21st century
