Angry Keshi slams abusive Nigerian fans

This has got to do with the Nigeria Vs Iran match which ended goalless draw few weeks ago. According to Africanfootball.com, Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi is not really happy with the way some abusive Nigerian fans hurled insults at him and criticised his antics during the opening group game at the World Cup in Brazil.


“I am disappointed, totally disappointed by the personal attacks, but it’s their thing, no wahala. It’s a shame, just a shame that we keep doing the same thing and then they come back and they say they are sorry. Sorry for abusing my mum? Sorry for abusing my siblings? For what? That I am representing Nigeria?” He stated.
To be very candid, I understand Keshi’s point and there’s really no justification for the insults but really it was only natural for fans to react and express their opinion about the game. No one will give the team kudos when their performance is lacklustre.

Nig/Iran clash: "Odemwingie did not follow my instructions"- Keshi

Super Eagles Manager, Stephen Keshi has revealed that Stoke City forward, Osaze Odemwingie who came in during the second half of the game did not follow his instructions during Nigeria’s goalless draw against Iran on Monday and his poor performance also affected the team.

He told BBC World Service, “The Osaze you are talking about didn’t do well. Osaze did not play to instruction and that affected the team. We expected three points from this game but everybody knows the most important game is between ourselves and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Next game I think will be easier and I think that will be the decider of where we will be at this World Cup.”

Keshi to be blamed for goalless draw- Okocha

To those who saw the game last night, this headline is like stating the obvious. Former Super Eagles Captain, Austin Jay Jay Okocha has said Coach Stephen Keshi should be held responsible for the Super Eagles’ dismal performance against Iran last night.

The African football legend who is one of the World Cup analysts on Supersport told his colleagues. “Keshi should be held responsible for the way the team played. Before the match he said African teams are tactically not disciplined and he did not bring anything new to the table. His changes were poor. He took out Moses and brought in Ameobi. I think that was a wrong change. We saw how Osaze came in and showed a lot of creativity. That is the kind of thing we expected. Iran match would have been our strongest point but we missed it.”
