Speaking at the pre-match media briefing at the team’s Ingwenyama Sports Resort in Nelspruit , Keshi said he foresees a difficult game but was sure that his wards will come out better at the end of the encounter.
“Yes, we are playing against the defending champions and we know they are very good but we also know our potentials and we are sure to come clean at the end of the day.
In company of team skipper, Joseph Yobo, Keshi praised the output of the team in the last game against Burkina Faso and again pleaded with Nigerians to give his youthful side time to blossom.
“Yes, we have millions of coaches in Nigeria but they must understand that every national team that has achieved took time to build and they must give this Super Eagles side time to grow”, he said.
Keshi also spoke about his former play-mate in Belgium who is now the President of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), Kalusha Bwalya, declaring that he has had a wonderful relationship with him over the years and do hope to have a good handshake with him at the end of Friday’s game no matter where the result goes.
“We played together in Belgium, while I was in Anderletch, he was in Club Brugges and we were like brothers, up to the 1994 finals in Tunisia. It does not mean we don’t kick ourselves on the pitch, so on Friday our players will kick themselves and we will do the handshakes”.
