Super Eagles coach,
Stephen Keshi has lashed out at the
country’s fans, saying it is a shame they have abused his person for the team’s
showing at Brazil 2014. The Super Eagles and coach Keshi came under heavy fire
from angry fans after they could only manage a 0-0 draw with Iran in their
opening group game at the World Cup in Brazil.
But Keshi has taken serious exception to the fans’ rage,
saying there was no justification for them to insult his person. “I am disappointed, totally disappointed (by
the personal attacks), but it’s their thing, no wahala (no problem),”
blasted Keshi in Brazil.
“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?”
Keshi has already fired a salvo at his fellow former
football stars who tore at his team and tactics in Brazil. He said he had
expected much better from them as they ought to know better about the game than
the man on the street.
Nigeria take on Argentina on Wednesday in Porto Alegre and if they avoided
defeat, they will qualify for the knockout rounds of the World Cup for only the
third time in their history.
