Battle of Calabar: Keshi demands Congo tapes

Out of contract Super Eagles’ gaffer, Ste­phen Keshi, has demanded for the video tapes of the African champions’ opponents, Congo, to plan ahead of the September 6 AFCON 2015 qualifying clash at the UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar.
The video tapes, accord­ing to the AFCON 2013 winning coach, would help the Super Eagles to adopt a strategic plan to subdue the Congolese in Nigeria.
Speaking through his brother and representative, Emmanuel Ado, the coach said he had communicated with the football house to provide him with the tape as soon as he arrived the country.
“Yeah, he (Keshi) has concluded his plans to travel back to Nigeria and he will be joining us this weekend,” he said.
“The Eagles have a lim­ited time to the game in Calabar. So, the coach is striving hard to have an un­derstanding of the Congo­lese pattern of play. But the football house has prom­ised to deliver the tapes to him on arrival,” Ado fur­ther informed.
The barrister at law also hinted that the coach who was expected to ar­rive aboard a KLM Airline would be moving straight to Calabar to start prepa­rations for the September 6 game and had promised to impose sanctions on players that arrived late to camp.
“Keshi is taking this match with all serious­ness. He has also spoken with all the invited players and urged them to report to camp early. He is, how­ever, ready to wield the big stick on erring players.”
The former Hawks of Togo handler was, how­ever, prevailed on by the Senate President, Senator David Mark, as well as the Sports Minister, Tammy Da­nagogo, to guide the Super Eagles in their AFCON 2015 double header quali­fiers against Congo and South Africa before a fresh contractual negotiations re­sume.
