Stephen Keshi has expressed utter displeasure at former
Nigerian players, who were quick to
criticize his team after they drew 0-0 with
Iran in their first World Cup game in
Brazil.
The Super Eagles bounced back with a 1-0
win over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday
night, which put them in pole position to
qualify. But Keshi had harsh words for
some ex-internationals, who he feels
should understand the game better as
they played at the highest level before.
“The annoying thing is that they get
criticised unnecessarily back home,” Keshi
said at a press conference after the win
over Bosnia.
“When that comes from the man on the
street you can understand but when
people who should know like ex-
footballers criticise the team, I don’t
enjoy it at all.
“But the players have showed that they
are good enough for the World Cup but
they are yet to play to full potential.”
