Nigeria’s coach Stephen Keshi has played down the effect of the
0-0 stalemate with Iran in Monday’s game at Curitiba by assuring fans
that his team will aim for a win in the next game against Bosnia
Herzegovina.
Keshi was disappointed that his players could not translate their dominance into goals, but noted that it’s not an unusual trend in football for a dominant team to have goal scoring problems.
“This is football, were you can dominate ball possession but cannot score goals. I don’t know (what went wrong), but that is football,” kickOffNigeria.com quoted Keshi as saying after the match.
The “Big Boss” however insisted that the players will have to move on from the game against Iran by improving on their performance and go for victory against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday.
“I wanted a win, but we must take the draw,” Keshi said after the game. “We must do better to get a win against Bosnia,” he added.
