Former Super Eagles player Fuludu Edema has reiterated the need for Stephen Keshi to concentrate on the building process with the local players following the below par performance of the foreign players in the first leg of the Nations Cup qualifier against Rwanda in Kigali last month.

The Warri Wolves Director of Football expressing his views in  an interview with Saturday Vanguard Sports said he supports Keshi  to continue to build mainly on the  local players  in order to build firm  confidence in them.

“Consistency is the key to success in everything. Keshi is rebuilding and in every rebuilding process, there are things to  experiment in order to have evaluation.  Rwanda’s game was one of such  experiments, despite the fact that he did not play more of the home-based players . I’m  not sure he was comfortable with that.  Weather changes could affect players especially with the fact that Europe is colder than Africa,” he said.

Fuludu added that “Keshi should try as much as he can to play  more of the  home players  because it would help their confidence in big matches. The more local players he uses, the more confidence they will get in the task ahead.

I prefer the home-based players because they have been  playing  together in the league.
