Super Eagles coach,Stephen Keshi,has said that the goal for the national team today,in the World Cup qualifier against Kenya is to secure all three points that will consolidate their position in group F.
Keshi speaking after the team’s last training session yesterday in Nairobi,said that they respect the Kenyans but also that they have overcome the disappointing 1-1 draw,both teams played in Calabar in March.
“We respect the Kenyans for what they achieved when we played in Nigeria, but I like to state that is in the past. We have forgotten about that, just as we are not going to be thinking about the fact that we have beaten Kenya in nine of 11 previous meetings,” Keshi said.
“The important thing is that we have a mission here and that is to pick the maximum points and then go to Namibia to do same. That way, we would have enhanced our chances of qualification for the World Cup before going to the Confederations Cup.”
“Our focus is unaffected and our determination not in anyway weakened. We were forced to a 2-2 draw by Mexico in a friendly match in America last week, even without a good number of our regulars,” Keshi added.
“On Wednesday, we would go out on the field to do the job and in the process, do our country proud,” he said
