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.
