Can The Eagle Soar Above Ethiopia, The Africa Sleeping Giant?

Keshi, who admitted to have been victim of assaults both as a player and coach, said that there is need to be ready for any form of battle if Nigeria must secure good results in Ethiopia!

“We are ready for any hostility. We have passed through it as players and now as a coach, so it is no longer a new thing for us. It is one of the things to expect in an away game in Africa,” Keshi said to the press.

“We know the continent and we are ready for any form of challenges because we need a good result in Ethiopia,” Keshi asserted.

The gaffer has confessed his respect for Walia Antelopes, who qualified in Group A where they beat competition from the super favourites, South Africa.

Keshi also said that if the Eagles remained focused in Sunday’s game, they will certainly have the upper hand before the return leg that will play in Calabar on November 16.
